Highly original, frightening, intriguing, and all the more impressive for the shoestring budget available to the director.
The premise - six individuals wake up to find themselves trapped in a white room, equal in dimension in every direction. On each wall, floor and ceiling is a hatch, which leads through to another identical room. Some are booby trapped, others not, and it is their task to find their way to safety.
Compelling and fascinating, this is a study of personality breakdown in the ultimate stress situation, and damn fine it is too.
A must watch.
