The Exception (Film)

by timbaros

TheException_7_KataVermesFour women work together in a library dedicated to genocide, but when a couple of them start to receive deaththreats, the work situations tense, almost explosive, in the new psychological thriller ‘ The Exception.’

Iben (Danica Curcic) and Malene (Amanda Colin) sit right across each other at the library, and are best friends in and out of work. They both receive a death threat in an email and initially suspect a war crime criminal who is still alive – one that may or may not have a close connection to one of the employees. Meanwhile Anne-Lise (Sidse Babett Knudsen), a new employees, doesn’t quite fit in with the other women and believes they are constantly talking about her and making fun of her behind her back. She seems to be a bit on the paranoid side, but with a loving husband, a young son, and a beautiful home, she seems to have it all. Another one of the other woman, Camilla (Lene Maria Christensen) maintains a low profile, but she too is not what she appears to be. The tension builds within the office, and suspicions continue as to who could’ve sent the email, but when bullying complaints are made to the manager, the tension between the woman escalates, and they slowly start looking at each other and suspect it could actually be one of them who is the culprit.

‘The Exception’ will released across all major UK Digital Platforms on 22nd January including iTunesAppleTV, Sky Store, Google Play, Amazon, Virgin, Curzon Home Cinema & Chili (& BT on rental only from 1st Feb

A top recon team step in when an alien invasion shuts down the planet, in The Blackout: Invasion Earth, now on Blu-Ray, DVD and digital platforms (see below).
Imagine Chernobyl crossed with Battle: Los Angeles, with a touch of Predator, in this Russian sci-fi blockbuster that sees a future world teetering on oblivion. 
 
When the end comes for civilization, it will not be terrorism or nuclear war that causes it, but ‘The Blackout’. An unexplained phenomenon has struck the Earth. Contact between most towns on Earth has been severed. A small area in Eastern Europe is the only location that still has electricity. 
As military forces venture outside, they discover a shocking truth – corpses everywhere. In stores, in cars, on roads, in hospitals and railway stations. Who or what is destroying all life on Earth? And how long can the last outpost of mankind endure? It’s up to a crack squad of troops to investigate, venturing into a no-man’s land to confront the threat, whatever it might be – and exterminate it at all costs!
 
Featuring hi-tech effects, heavy-duty military equipment, bloody bear attacks and a suicide mission to end them all, The Blackout: Invasion Earth is a thrilling and chilling, action-packed epic that sees the fate of humanity resting in the hands of a group of heavily armoured, but massively overmatched soldiers (headed by Aleksey Cahdov, star of Nightwatch), and a lone female journalist. This is two hours of doom and destruction, intense firefights and mind-control mayhem – and a strange, leather-clad figure called Id, who holds the key to the blackout.
The Blackout: Invasion Earth will make you hold your breath from beginning to end. A Russian-made film but dubbed in English, it looks like it was very expensive film to make.The Blackout: Invasion Earth has amazing special effects the likes of which have not been seen in a very long time. Action-packed, riveting and definitely well worth a watch!
