VIVARIUM (full review at Screen Realm)

Vivarium is a science fiction / horror mystery and is the second feature from director / co-writer Lorcan Finnegan. It’s being released to VOD from 16 April 2020.

Young couple, Tom (Jesse Eisenberg) and Gemma (Imogen Poots), are desperate to get into the housing market, so they go to meet with the agent handling the sales of the Yonder housing estate. Martin (Jonathan Aris), the agent, is a strange individual and their encounter is bizarre. However, in the interests of compromise and with a nothing-ventured-nothing-gained philosophy, Tom and Gemma agree to view a house.

They arrive at the uniformly designed estate and it becomes readily apparent that Yonder is not what Tom and Gemma are looking for. Martin’s strange behaviour culminates in him abandoning the viewing, so Tom and Gemma set off for home, only to find they are unable to make their way out of the estate.  After driving around for hours, they discover themselves back where they started, in front of the house they were viewing. With no other choice available they must spend the night in Yonder. From this point on Vivarium descends into surreal nightmare, as the days become circular and logic defying.
