Citadel

Citadel (2012)

Tommy es testigo impotente de la agresión que una banda de niños encapuchados perpetran contra su mujer embarazada. El bebé logra sobrevivir, pero ella queda en coma. Tras esto, Tommy desarrolla una agorafobia aguda, y empieza a sospechar que los niños le están siguiendo. Un cura le advertirá de forma críptica que vigile sus espaldas, pues es muy posible que estos quieran arrebatarle también a su hija. Pero...¿Qué son en realidad estas pequeñas criaturas? Angustioso hasta lo inimaginable, Citadel convierte los paisajes desoladores dejados por la crisis (barrios desiertos, edificios desahuciados) en un escenario de terror puro.

Foy was influenced by Stanley Kubrick, David Cronenberg, Adrian Lyne, and Chris Cunningham.
