Citadel

I recently watched a British Suspense/Drama called Citadel. The movie begins with a guy and his pregnant girlfriend in the hallway of an apartment building. The woman is left standing while he takes something to their car. When he gets back inside the elevator is not working. He shuts the door manually and then goes upstairs to find his girlfriend being attacked by 3 children. Wouldn't you know it the elevator door doesn't open. She goes to the hospital and he is handed their baby. We find out later she's alive but a vegetable. Meanwhile the hero of the movie is left to raise their baby daughter alone with a terrible case of agoraphobia and a healthy fear of the children that seem to follow him around. It was very hard to follow in general and seemed like it was more about the man's agoraphobia than anything else. Even when it seemed to be getting good it wasn't. I would give this movie 2 1/2 stars for effort.
