The film tells the story of two good friends who live together, Andrew, an agoraphobic travel agent who works from his home, and Dave, a loser who works in an office where he is treated with contempt. Just when it seems things can't get any worse for the two, the entire world outside of their house disappears and is replaced with an endless white void.
Direction
Natali stretches $2M into infinite white nothing brilliantly.
Writing
Dialogue so awkward you'll feel seen and attacked.
Practical Effects
The void effect is just... a white room. Genius.
Director
Vincenzo Natali
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
David Hewlett and Andrew Miller improvised much of their dialogue; they were real-life friends who came up with the premise together over drinks.
This was Vincenzo Natali's follow-up to Cube, proving he could do existential dread on a shoestring budget twice.
