Blackout

About This Movie

So, 'Blackout' is this intriguing little drama that captures a night in a council tower block during a power failure. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you kind of feel the residents' frayed nerves as they deal with the chaos of flying bin bags and broken lifts. It’s not your typical drama; it has a raw, almost claustrophobic feel, reflecting the struggles of urban life. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that sense of unpredictability. The performances are pretty grounded, showcasing the characters’ desperation and resilience. What really stands out is how it uses practical effects to convey the pandemonium without relying on flashy gimmicks. It’s definitely a unique slice of life in a very specific setting.
