The Facility (2012)
7/10
Don't miss this gem
16 July 2013
I stumbled upon this film by pure fluke. I had never seen any marketing material nor heard anything via word of mouth...I'm glad I found it though and I will not soon forget it.

The move is about a bunch of regular people who sign up to be guinea pigs in a clinical trial for some kind of pharmaceutical. They must stay in a facility during the trial and the facility is like a tiny hospital or clinic in the middle of absolutely nowhere....and this is where the film shines. The seclusion, the claustrophobia....a great atmosphere is set right from the beginning, reminiscent of classics such as The Thing and Alien.

The acting here is also top notch. Other reviews seem to pick on the story but I felt as though it was the lack of information that made this movie great, again reminiscent of classics that leave more to the imagination...This movie does not spoon feed you with details, and for that I felt like I was there apart of the madness.
