WOW! I've just finished watching this and I'm still breathless. What a great movie. Now I'm guessing most of you would have already seen this, I'm more than a little late in getting around to this but boy am I glad I finally did. What a movie. Just in case there is someone out there who hasn't seen it, let's keep the synopsis simple. A TV \crew filming a day in the life story about firemen follow them out to an apartment where a lady was heard screaming. Let's just say there's some weird shit going on in that building. It's filmed in the handheld style which has proved so effective for low budget films and it's used to great effect here. The atmosphere is overwhelmingly claustrophobic and it does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat. The sound is great as well. This would be a great movie to experience in the cinema or on a home theatre setup. It's a short movie, with little story or characterisation, and you could argue that it isn't that original either, but the atmosphere, and unsettling feeling this movie creates is brilliant. There are some genuine jump out of your seat moments and the entire experience is thrilling. One of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time and so highly recommended. This has been remade for American audiences as Quarantine, which personally I can't even be bothered to see because I don't see the point, but do let me know if you feel I should.
