Vivarium was directed by Lorcan Finnegan, and he happens to be a director I’m familiar with, having seen his 2016 movie, Without Name.

Speaking of Without Name, it was okay though the concept when all is said and done was more interesting than the execution.

Now Vivarium…this looks interesting!

It reminds me vaguely of The Truman Show and The Prisoner, which are both pretty interesting in different ways though each revolve around paranoia and people being manipulated by (typically unseen) powers with an agenda.
