"Close but no cigar"
3 stars"

Vivarium starts out with a somewhat rushed but simple idea that builds beautifully and maintains tension throughout keeping you wondering what next. Then it starts to become odd and this is why I gave it a begrudging 3 stars, it leaves more questions than answers. There is no resolution to the plot and nothing is explained. It's like a sneeze that builds you up then goes flat leaving you wholly unsatisfied. Have a look by all means because it is interesting from a human behavioral perspective and will keep you wondering what's next the problem is you never really find out.

Description

Vivarium

Young couple, Gemma (Imogen Poots, I Kill Giants) and Tom (Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network) want to purchase a house. They visit a strange estate agent, Martin, who tells them of a new development called Yonder. Gemma and Tom drive out to the development with Martin. The houses in Yonder are identical, suburban homes the place is silent, empty and otherworldly. Martin shows the couple around house number nine and then vanishes. Gemma and Tom attempt to leave Yonder but become lost every route and no matter what they try, returns them to number nine.

Their physical and emotional well-being takes a toll as they desperately try to escape.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Vivarium imagines the horror of being trapped inside your own home. What a concept! " – Clarisse Loughrey
