When played right the siege movie is a subgenre capable of cranking the tension up to unbearable levels. A strong environment and compelling characters add up to one cracking cinematic ride. And it would appear UK director Ronnie Thompson has got it right in the upcoming
Tower Block.
The last remaining tenants of a deteriorating, soon-to-be-demolished
tower block must band together to survive when a killer with a
high-powered sniper rifle starts picking them off through the windows of
their flats.
Soon to screen at Fantastic Fest - from whence I lifted that synopsis - check the
Tower Block trailer below.
