Blackout

The film follows the story of a mother and her daughter and son who get caught in a shopping mall when a blackout occurs. Unfortunately for them, a killer is in the buildings and already had his eyes on the attractive 15-year old girl. The films has an odd stiffness about it, mainly due to a script that's poorly written which gives no room for generally good actors to shine with a level of emotion and realism. Special mention goes to Alexandra Picatto for a tense, gripping performance that brings the film up a notch.

The film serves its purpose though, late-night thriller that's passable enough to fill some time before dozing off to a good night sleep.
