Society eats itself in this brisk and tense tower block thriller… Strong attention to detail and a disquieting score set this debut feature apart…
Mark, a failed artist estranged from his wife and son, wakes one morning to discover that the doors and windows of his flat have been sealed shut. He assumes it’s a sick joke until he sees an army of mysterious figures in protective suits – patrolling the grounds and attacking his fellow residents.
When a neighbour smashes through their adjoining wall, Mark joins forces with his new-found ally and others from within the block. Together, they must work to defend themselves from the sinister Hazmats. But they soon discover that the greatest danger is sealed inside with them…
Containment is a triumph for director Neil Mcenery-West…
Demonstrates what a skilled director, original plot and a cast at the top of their game can deliver. Explosive, exciting… It literally glues you in

The real power of Containment lies in Mcenery-West’s direction, which demonstrates a visual wisdom that’s truly rare in a first-time director. With a shoestring budget, he’s created a taut yet understated environment for the mystery that’s refusing to unfold, eschewing clichés such as shaky-cam or rapid-fire cutting for long takes and well-placed, well-crafted sound. It’s exciting to think what he could do with a little more cash and a lot more space.
