Containment

Containment is a 2015 thriller film. I liked this one, and thrillers are never my first choice in film.

from Wikipedia:
The film is set in a 1970s era council block in Weston, Southampton set in the present-day United Kingdom. Mark, an artist, wakes to find that he has been sealed into his flat with no way out. There is no electricity, no water and no communications with the outside world apart from a voice over the intercom, repeating the phrase, "please remain calm, the situation is under control". Strange figures in Hazmat suits patrol the grounds outside and set up a military tent.
via Youtube:


The Guardian calls it "a zippy, clean-cut and ingenious panic-thriller". Rotten Tomatoes has a 92% critics consensus score.

  7. Just watched it. I do think people's true natures are revealed in a crisis...sad but true. I've seen it. This was an interesting version. ;)

    1. Yes, people don't change in response to a crisis, do they :( They tend to double down if anything.

    1. It's a scary thought! Especially because I can envision it happening in real life.

    1. Yes, I agree. Very tension-producing.
