Citadel

Citadel

Starring Aneurin Barnard, James Cosmo, Amy Shiels, Wunmi Mosaku

Directed by Ciaran Foy

Tommy (Aneurin Barnard) and his wife Joanne (Amy Shiels) are expecting their first child together, but one day Joanne is attacked by a group of hooded teens, which results in the baby being born prematurely, and causing Joanne's death.

With the help of nurse Marie (Wunmi Mosaku), Tommy cares for his child alone, while suffering from agoraphobia, as he is now afraid to leave his building after the attack.  The hooded youth are still targeting him, abducting his baby.  When Tommy comes into contact with Priest (James Cosmo), he learns the deadly secret behind the hooded youth, what they really are, and how to save his baby before she becomes like them.

This is one of the films I need to see a second time, because I was mildly tired watching it and I drifted off slightly here and there.  Personally I found the film to be extremely boring, with only a few exciting scenes that split up the monotony.  Reading other reviews they've delved into the man's psyche, and how the feral teens brought to the surface his emotions, which gives the film a different view for me, and something I need to see again when I'm in a more coherent state.

My Rating: C
