Citadel hits select theaters October 19th!

Yahoo! Health cites agoraphobia as, “an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear related to being in situations from which escape might be difficult or embarrassing.” See, we all learned something new today! But, seriously, I give Citadel major applause for not only having an original plot, but for also having a character I think audiences will really root for. No wonder the film won the Midnighter Audience Award at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival.

Read the synopsis for Citadel below. Then look for the film in select theaters starting October 19, 2012!

Synopsis: Tommy Cowley (Aneurin Barnard) lives a quiet life in a decaying apartment complex with his highly pregnant wife. The couple is attacked one day by a group of hooded young thugs, and after a shocking act of violence, Tommy is left to raise his newborn daughter alone.

So shaken by the events that he’s developed extreme agoraphobia, Tommy alternates days hiding out indoors in his new flat from imagined threats and intense therapy sessions aimed at bringing him back to normalcy.
 
When the same hooded gang, seemingly intent on kidnapping his daughter, begins terrorizing his life again, he’s torn between his paralyzing fear and protective parental instinct. With the help of a vigilante priest who has uncovered the genesis of this ruthless, potentially supernatural gang, Tommy must overcome his fears and venture into the heart of the abandoned tower block known as the CITADEL to save his family.”
