THE LOCKDOWN (2024) — When the doors close, the real horror begins.

They sealed the doors to keep danger out. But it was already inside.

The Lockdown (2024) is a taut psychological thriller with a pulse of claustrophobic dread, set not in the vast world beyond, but within the walls we thought would keep us safe. Blending survival horror with social paranoia, the film explores the terrifying line between containment and collapse—when a lockdown turns from precaution to nightmare.

When a mysterious viral outbreak triggers an emergency citywide quarantine, a group of office workers find themselves trapped overnight in a high-rise tower in downtown Chicago. At first, it's inconvenience. Then, it's tension. Then, people start disappearing. Cut off from communication and with hazmat teams swarming the streets below, the group begins to fracture—some blaming the government, some blaming each other, and some... hiding their own agenda.

But the real threat isn’t just the virus. It’s what the virus does to people.

As the nights stretch on and the power flickers out, the survivors uncover a hidden floor sealed decades ago, holding a research lab that was never meant to be found. Files point to a darker history—one where contagion wasn’t an accident, but a controlled experiment. Now the disease isn’t just airborne. It’s inside them. And the building is no longer a shelter—it’s a cage.

Directed by Marisol Vega and anchored by an intense ensemble cast, The Lockdown is a nerve-fraying descent into panic, power, and the buried secrets we carry when survival becomes personal.
