Verdict on Await Further Instructions
Await Further Instructions is a sci-fi mystery horror that follows a family dealing with an unexpected quarantine. This creates tension between the family as they search for answers and get caught up in the middle of something they simply can’t explain.
The movie creates tension as we saw previously in ‘The Mist’ where it becomes a battle between religion and science. It provides an interesting commentary on life while being brainwashed into following orders. This is a smart contained movie, that leaves plenty of questions, despite it being difficult to see a family fall apart because of it.
Final Thoughts – Await Further Instructions is a smart, interesting, and thought-provoking film.
