General Comments: An apocalyptic allegory. Grotesque and claustrophobic in nature; soaked in enough gore to paint the walls of the dilapidated apartment complex – the setting – red. An eclectic and eccentric mix of personalities, combined with differing micro-stories, powers the plot, emphasising the theme of survival, when all that is left is despair. The action is superb, and the drama is endearing.
Favourite Quote: ‘Even the blackest darkness disappears in the faintest light.’
