The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The first must-see film of the year.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
If you like your movies heavy on slow burn buildup with the overall focus on mood, tension and a feeling of dread this one's for you. It definitely has its flaws and at least one gaping plot hole that kind of left me shaking my head but overall I definitely enjoyed this well directed flick. If you like big splodey things, lots of gore, Hollywood fake boobies, bombastic soundtracks and prefer energy drink adrenaline rush pacing you might want to pass.
CITADEL is another grim and gloomy slice of British urban horror shot with that cheap and depressing digital look, all greys and blues and no life anywhere. Despite the predictability of the visuals, the film turns out to be not too bad, and certainly better than the similarly-themed F. Aneurin Barnard plays a young father grieving his wife's death at the hands of a group of feral children who roam his local council estate causing mischief. The story that plays out is dingy and dark, enlivened only by the presence of the reliably great James Cosmo as a foul-mouthed priest who vows to help our lead tackle the kids responsible. It's a pretty predictable little outing, but there's enough incident here to keep you watching.
I can't believe that some people gave this trash more than 1 star,what is this? where is the story?.Really if there is a degree under zero this film deserve it.This is a vacant story, simply and directly told by Irish writer-director Ciaran Foy. He doesn't try to explain too much, he doesn't depend on special effects and stays just this side of the unbelievable. As Tommy, Aneurin Barnard is very effective. He trembles and sweats with fear, he would seem paranoid if it didn't seem the "demons" weren't really there, and if they hadn't really killed his wife.The priest enlists Tommy in a scheme to destroy the Citadel and send the demons back to the flames of hell Hahhhhhhhhhh Where are these demons? and like the trash movies some things happen ad elevator did not open as usual. Tis film is very boring,no blot and also no acting
This was a really good movie , actually it was a great movie.This movie did not take long to get going and what a way to start a movie. With the pregnant lady , It was nasty not gory, it was nasty as it is a really nasty thing to do.I really like the rest of the movie, as we get to see the father is scared of going out side his house, which gives their movie more of a intense feel to it.You may be thinking this sounds like a another movie called Them. however this movie is far from it, as it is a bit of a plot later in the movie.I don't know if I miss it, I don't think they explained who or what they were.Fantastic acting , and great movie 9/10
