As a result of his wife's death at the hands of a group of feral children, Tommy (Aneurin Barnard) is suffering from agoraphobia. Living in fear of the children who he's convinced are out to get him and his newborn baby, he seeks the help of a local priest (James Cosmo) who is sure that the vicious culprits are not altogether human. (Metrodome Distribution)

Brilliant social horror. Citadel is a dirty and depressive story drawing from 1970s David Cronenberg (The Brood, Shivers). It’s not something you see much these days, so I’m very satisfied, though it’s lacking something to go all the way to the top. For instance, I would do away with the secondary characters: the black nurse and the weird parson – it could have been only about Tommy. But there’s no reason to complain, few horror flicks have a better atmosphere.
