She Dies Tomorrow
Fantastic Films

Lorcan Finnegan's deliciously twisted sci-fi horror sees a young couple (Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots) trapped in a labyrinthine suburban maze shortly after moving into their forever home.

If perhaps not taking its delicious concept as far as it could, Vivarium nevertheless offers up a uniquely twisted satire of middle-class discontent, aided by spot-on performances from Eisenberg and Poots.

If the Black Mirror comparisons are inevitable, Vivarium certainly does enough to justify its own feature-length existence, even as it hurtles towards an ending sure to mystify at least as many as it satisfies.

Vivarium is out now on Shudder.
