Vortex

2001 · 63 min

A grim, claustrophobic near-future prison tale that turns punishment into endless repetition, leaving a cold and uneasy aftertaste.

Directed by
Michael Pohl
Genres
Horror, Science fiction
Overview
In the near future crime rates are at an all time high. The government counters this development with a new prison: The Vortex. Innocent citizen Vincent is sent there, after he killed a man who tried to rob him in self-defense. In the Vortex everybody has to commit their crime over and over again. Vincents first victim is his neighbour Carl.
