Film Review
FILM
REVIEW Vivarium is a film that borders the line of thriller and horror, it feels like a thriller but the mood and tone of it is very much more on the horror side. The story is simple enough, a young couple are looking for a new home and are taken by an estate agent to view a house on a new estate. Vivarium is a terrific film with an outstanding couple of leads that keeps you involved and really does keep you guessing as to what the endgame will be. The makers have managed to create a seriously creepy mood with the look and the background music. You know something weird is going on very early on but they make sure not to let too much information come your way so that you are as much in the dark as the characters you are watching. I have seen many, many films so anything that keeps me wondering and catches me off guard is always going to be a potential winner with me but when it also manages to nail the ending and not end up a disappointment then I have nothing but fulsome praise. Vivarium is not a film for everyone but it sure is something a bit different. VIVARIUM Simon White
