Asylum Blackout

Asylum Blackout (The Incident, 2012) is a single-location horror film you can watch online on iFILM. Three young musicians moonlight in the kitchen of a maximum-security ward built for the criminally insane.

When a thunderstorm cuts the power, the cell doors release and the cooks — played by Kenny Doughty and Rupert Evans — end up trapped inside with the patients. No phones, no lights, no way to tell the orderlies from the inmates. Director Alexandre Courtès, a music-video veteran behind clips for U2 and The White Stripes, skips cheap jump scares and lets the dread thicken in the dark. Lean, grim and claustrophobic, it runs a tight 84 minutes and rewards anyone who likes their horror confined and mean. Stream Asylum Blackout (2012) online on iFILM.
