Citadel (I) (2012) Free Download And Enjoy
The movie plays like therapy for writer-director Ciaran Foy, who himself suffered from agoraphobia after an unprovoked assault. It's as if he awakened from his ordeal in a dark, twisted Wonderland occupied by more pubescent versions of the feral baddies from David Cronenberg's The Brood. As you'd expect from someone who experienced a disorder firsthand, he portrays it with sensitivity and realism -- but without sacrificing the pace or the potency of the genre trappings. Citadel is a wondrous achievement for such a small, low-budget film. Beautifully lensed with intense performances, it's creepy and surreal, exhilarating and touching -- all characteristics the typical mainstream Hollywood horror movie struggles to attain.
