Following a brutal attack on his pregnant partner, Tommy (Aneurin
Barnard), is reduced to a nervous wreck who can’t leave his house, but he must
overcome these fears if he wants to keep his baby daughter.
This UK horror film opens with a scene so nasty I wasn’t
sure I could continue to watch but Aneurin Barnard’s performance as the
distraught Tommy is so compelling that I just couldn’t switch off.
Tommy consults guidance councillors and the local Priest
(James Cosmo) in a bid to tackle his fears but they are soon realised when his
daughter is taken and Tommy is forced to take action.
Like a lot of horrors these days Citadel starts really well
and, in this case, the tension continues until the true identity of the hooded
villains is revealed. It’s all a bit silly after that but this remains an
enjoyable British horror.
Citadel is released on DVD in the UK on 30th September
2013.

I don't think it would be my thing. I probably wouldn't have made it past the beginning at all.
