Phase 7 is an excellent film, not for gore, excitement or a great villain wearing a snazzy hat, but for the realization >>...

Writer/director Nicolás Goldbart’s Phase 7 tells the story of a young couple – Coco (Daniel Hendler) and Pipi (Jazmín Stuart) – who discover their apartment building is to be immediately quarantined due to the appearance of a deadly virus. Their ensuing seclusion brings about a series of monstrous events, alliances and double-crossings amongst the neighbours.

Phase 7 is a relatively taut apocalyptic thriller from Goldbart, an up-and-coming Argentinian talent, that, instead of focusing on the worldwide panic that follows an epidemic, centres on a lowly apartment building and its tenants as they deal with the outbreak – with often disastrous consequences.

Goldbart’s screenplay is tight, valiantly choosing to be an intimate character piece rather than an all-out action-fuelled thriller, representing how everyday people would react to a sudden deadly epidemic. Where it falters, however, is with the jarring lurches into black comedy that ultimately do little more than diffuse tension,...

"At its core, Fase 7 is a savvy blend of [rec] and J.G. Ballard's "High Rise."

Coco (Daniel Hendler) and his wife Pipi (Jazmin Stuart) are a young couple with a baby on the way. They always seem to be in the middle of another argument (that Coco is destined to lose), and they argue so much, in fact, that they at first don't catch on as mobs start to empty out the supermarkets and one siren after another begins to blare in the background. Even once their apartment building is quarantined and sealed up, they spend more time trying to find ways to entertain and divert themselves than keep abreast of the televised reports of a lethal virus that is rapidly becoming global.

Their neighbor Horacio (scene-stealer #1 Yayo Guridi) takes every opportunity...

Phase 7, or as the Spanish say Fase 7, recently had a showing at the Miami International Film Festival. Today, the film debuted at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. Phase 7 spoofs the quarantine films, such as: Quarantine, [Rec] etc. One wife is oblivious to the spread of the disease, while a paranoid neighbour attempts to eradicate other tenants to stop the spread of infection. All of these events happen under the bumbling eye of the military. Watch what can go wrong under disease conditions, in this trailer for Phase 7 below.

The synopsis for Phase 7 is here:

"Coco (Daniel Hendler) just moved to his new apartment with 7 months pregnant wife Pipi (Jazmin Stuart) when their building is quarantined, due to the outbreak of a deadly flu. Soon the residents become unexpected enemies, and Coco is forced to join forces with his next-door neighbor, the loony but well prepared and stocked Horacio,...
