Film Club Review 6:
Coherence

static1.squarespaceThe Film Club hits its half-dozen with a low budget sci-fi thriller that was filmed in the director’s own house. The film is 2012’s Coherence and it deals with the effects of a power outage that coincides with the passing overhead of an astronomical anomaly called Miller’s Comet.

Chosen by our MovieMuse founder Gordon Sinclair, it is a suspenseful take on alternate universes that will boggle the mind more than it will scare.

You can hear the team’s thoughts of the film in Episode 7 of the MovieMuse podcast below (at the 1hr 16 min mark). You can also read Gordon’s review or check out the trailer below.

Summary

Whilst the team questioned how quickly the characters accepted their predicament, there was general agreement that Coherence presents a mind-bending but believable tale with a creepy sense of foreboding that will have you on edge throughout.
