At its least, Level 16 ranks as a very good episode of Black Mirror but at its best, it succeeds as a hybrid of the kind of dystopic paranoia we get from Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale with touches of sanitized malevolence from Stanley Kubrick. Read full review

Initial hints of a "Mean Girls"-meets-"Lord of the Flies" complication don't come to much in this straightforward pic, which will be zeitgeisty enough for some viewers while leaving most wanting something a bit more imaginative. Read full review

The look of the film is sterile and monochromatic, as is the acting and the mood. And while fans of the genre will absolutely appreciate the surreal gloom, for most others Level 16 will come in at a level below an average "Twilight Zone" episode. Read full review

Level 16 is a mystery horror that gets darker as it unravels. Read full review

As it sputters toward its curtain-exposing conclusion, “Level 16” stays disappointingly thin, both as a dark-future cautionary saga and a genre exercise. Read full review

Good film, not the best, but it is a film worth watching and 2 hours spent without regrets.

There are some good moments, but a few problems with the writing. The transition between some scenes is awkward and there is overall a lack of suspense.

The original idea is good but, as a spectator, I was lacking the element of "surprise" about what was to come next. Some clichés such as the guards who are Russians (oh! the bad, nasty Russians). Most actors are good, just their lines sometimes sound phony. Overall, a pleasant movie but with an aftertaste of amateurism by some aspects, especially in the script.… Expand

I was surprised to find several good reviews of this film because I was so damn bored with its monotony and lack of suspense.

Rather uninspired and boring low-budget movie. Reasonably well made though the amateurism shows, just not surprising, intelligent or even interesting. Probably better than your average film-student project but not something you'd want to pay for to go see.
