The film

A young prankster wakes trapped in a metal barrel in an abandoned workshop. He must find a way out and learn how and why he got there. Estranged from his devout father, he can only rely on him, shackled to a pole nearby, for guidance.

The Real Review

This is a divisive, mostly frustrating watch about a son trapped in a barrel while his father is chained up nearby. While the visuals are solid, the central story and the father-son dynamic don't land for many, feeling undercooked and failing to deliver the tension or emotional payoff the premise promises. A vocal group finds the whole thing a bit of a slog.
