Just ask your friendly neighbourhood millennial – getting on the property ladder is a total nightmare. But if finding a stable forever-home sounds like the dream for some, it ends up being something else entirely for Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots in Vivarium. The upcoming mystery sci-fi thriller from filmmaker Lorcan Finnegan follows couple Tom and Gemma as they visit an eerily pristine suburban neighbourhood called Yonder, full of identical new-builds in a maze of indistinguishable streets – and as they attempt to drive away, it soon becomes clear that they’re not getting out so easily.
Empire has an exclusive clip from the film as the pair begin to understand their predicament, full of mounting tension with a palpable, unsettling atmosphere – take a look below.
After an acclaimed debut at the BFI London Film Festival 2019, Vivarium comes to UK cinemas on 27 March with a simultaneous on-demand release.
