Tower Block (2012) 8/10

Starring : Sheridan Smith, Ralph Brown, Russell Tovey, Jack O’Connell
Director : Ronnie Thompson & James Nunn
Running Time : 91 mins

Several months after a teenager is brutally beaten to death in a tower block, the residents find themselves under attack from a mysterious sniper. As the residents start to get picked off one by one, they are forced to combine their efforts to find their way out of the building and try to stop the killer before they’re all dead.

When this started I thought it was going to be just another annoying Brit flick filled with horrible people that you want to slap because of the dodgy mockney accents, but twenty minutes in things really kick into full flow. The characters are actually interesting – even the annoying ones – and no-one is above being shot by the sniper. This is a very tense thriller that keeps you guessing from start to finish.
