★ 8/10
80/100 We follow 3 main characters as they experience a night of devastating chaos ..and that's all folks. Presented in real time, as a single take, the technical execution to pull this off is really impressive as the camera has us witness a series of violent, unexplained events. Is it hallucinations generated by an unknown drug? Is it a rage-like virus? Is it a combination of the two? No information or explanation is provided as we just follow these people around. The real-time structure did create dull stretches but overall, intense, brutal, savage and quite the nail biter. Great fun! -- DrNostromo.com
