A normal morning quickly becomes a nightmare for the residents of Oslo Tower flats when a viral outbreak descends which soon infiltrate the building and begin snatching residents, tempers fray and fear takes over. No water. No power. No explanation. No escape.
While the dialogue is tainted by a few panic-thriller platitudes, and it is clear first-time director Neil McEnery-West needs to work on coaxing the best from actors, this is a zippy, clean-cut work.
It's a niftily executed viral-outbreak thriller that, true to its title, makes good use of confined space to ratchet up the drama of the situation, while working hard to bypass the more obvious narrative traps it creates for itself.
