71 By Harrison Crick

POSTERAs you can see the film title is exactly the same size as most of the reviews. This is because small indie films will struggle to make a profit or get people to watch their film without advertising their great reviews. Straight away we can also see that this film is going to be about war due to the costume and props that are used by this character.

STORYLINE A young British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his unit following a terrifying riot on the streets of Belfast in 1971. Unable to tell friend from foe, the raw recruit must survive the night alone and find his way to safety through a disorienting, alien and deadly landscape.
