A family’s Christmas takes a strange turn when they awake to find themselves trapped inside and begin receiving mysterious instructions through the television.
Are you wanting to watch something a bit different this Christmas?
We all know the usual Horror themed Christmas films and whilst we may love them you have to admit that there is something repetitive about them. I do feel I must warn you though as this film certainly isn’t for everybody, it’s certainly a ‘you either love it or hate it’ type of feature.
Whilst this film doesn’t feature a killer Santa on the loose or a demonic Christmas spirit hunting you down it does feature a highly dysfunctional family getting together for the festive period, I’m sure there’s a few of you reading this who can relate to that plot line.
The acting is not the strongest but you’ll definitely have seen worse, also I can understand some frustration towards story line as it can wobble a bit in places but ultimately I praise the writers for trying something different and being brave and confident enough to stick to it.
As I said earlier this is an ‘you either love it or hate it’ type of feature and personally I have to say that I really enjoyed it, for me it was the fact that it was something different that drew me to it. I give it credit for being able to draw me in with it’s story and keeping me gripped throughout.
“Await Further Instructions” is a feature that admittedly would’ve worked better with a bigger budget and better production, but I have to say it works well with what it had and I applaud it for its tenacity.
