For some reason, I initially had a different movie in mind when I started watching this, and it took me a while to realize that I was actually watching a different film. Nevertheless, Lockdown Tower turned out to be quite an intriguing viewing experience, and my feelings about it are somewhat mixed.

The movie kicks off well, drawing me into its narrative. The early segments set high expectations, but unfortunately, this momentum doesn't sustain itself until the end. As the story progresses, it somewhat stagnates, with few novel ideas or events being introduced. The extensive cast complicates matters, making it challenging to discern who's who and which side they're on.

Make no mistake: the movie implies eerie and disturbing events within the tower. However, the intense atmosphere established in the beginning gradually dissipates. Eventually, the movie concludes rather abruptly, leaving viewers with lingering unanswered questions.

Am I satisfied that I watched the movie? Yes. Would I watch it again? No. There are some logical flaws and an unrealistic timeline that raised my eyebrows and caused frustration. Nevertheless, Lockdown Tower represents a noteworthy and distinctive addition to the genre of films where horror emanates from the dynamics within the community of survivors.

I recently viewed the French ?? film Lockdown Tower (2022) on Prime. The plot revolves around a housing complex that becomes barricaded, trapping its residents with dwindling resources, leading to power struggles within.

Directed by Guillaume Nicloux (Lords of Scam), the film stars Hatik (DogMan), Bruni Makaya (The Lost Prince), Jules Houplain (Who You Think I Am), and Jules Dhios Francisco (The Dazzled).

While the film takes a bit too long to gain momentum, the last 25 minutes deliver what I had hoped for. The unique circumstances lack the intended creepiness, and the film initially focuses heavily on character and circumstance establishment. However, once the premise is set, the dynamics between different groups become interesting. There are also eerie survival concepts and impactful kill sequences at the very end.

In conclusion, Lockdown Tower falls short of its potential but has enjoyable elements. I would give it a 5/10 and recommend watching it once.

A friend recommended it so I watched it. The opening was pretty good, then it devolved into human scum- hints of racial tension and I lost interest when a few young kids attack an elderly couple to take their dog, presumably to eat.

That's when I turned the playback speed up to 2 and after awhile just started skipping through it, pausing to watch a few more scenes and the last five minutes in which nothing really happens, nothing's explained, nothing resolved. (How did any of them survive for 5 years???) The most boring Horror movie I can ever remember seeing and the only Horror is the time spent watching it.
