Blackout (2013 TV Movie)
6/10
It's an interesting watch.

What would happen to UK society if a National Grid outage led to a week long power cut?

It's not Threads, but it's definitely an interesting what it, the impact on The UK, the people and very fabric of society itself. Post COVID pandemic, I'm watching it with a very different, open mind, that proved that nothing is certain, is it beyond belief? Who knows.

I'm glad I made a recording of this when it first went out, as I recently had some vague memories of it. It's a real shame that Channel 4 seems to have stopped with original dramas like these.

It's quite chilling at times, it ramps up as it moves on, and there are some unsettling scenes, not just David Cameron.

'Found footage' style was definitely all the rage back then, and it's good to see now, at the time, I was sick of it, something that was definitely overdone.

It's well acted, at the time I only recognised one face, a few are more familiar these days.

It's never going to have cult status, it's very unlikely to be remembered, but I'm glad I got to rewatch it.

6/10.
