Synopsis (From EPK.TV):

When a hotel hallway is ravaged by a dreadful airborne virus, pregnant Japanese runaway wife Naomi is tragically thrust into the fight of her life. After getting infected, she wants to escape but is forced to crawl her way through other helpless and scattered victims.

In the room next door stays Val, a mother trapped in a toxic marriage. Val must also navigate her way out of the hotel and walk through the long and narrow stretch of isolated carnage, all while desperately looking for her young daughter Kelly and keeping out of sight of the remaining contagious sufferers. Will these two women get out of there alive?

Hall stars Yumiko Shaku, Carolina Bartczak, Mark Gibson, Julian Richings, and Bailey Thain.

I hesitate to say too much about Hall, as watching it unfold in all it’s panic-inducing glory is really worth the effort to not tell you much about it here.

If you listen to the episode, I think you might be able to glean a few more insights into the film, but I don’t think it’s much of a stretch or spoiler to tell you that I enjoyed Hall very much.

The cinematography, especially, I found great, shooting basically the entire film in the titular hall, maintaining a sense of claustrophobic panic while emphasizing how far freedom was.

Just have a listen…
