Unfolds like quietly engrossing short fiction, reminding us that there are few things more pleasurable than being in the hands of a good storyteller.

A handsome, absorbing debut feature by the fiction and television writer Henry Bromell.

In the full-house ensemble of Henry Bromell's Panic, Neve Campbell is the wild card.

Chicago TribuneRobert K. Elder
Graced by bleak, stylized direction and an insightful ending that suggests that nothing ever really ends, this first feature film by "Northern Exposure" and "Homicide" writer and producer Bromell is a promising debut.

Panic never lets you forget that Donald Sutherland can be one of America's greatest actors.

Boasts some genuinely intelligent and funny sequences and some nicely painful scenes of domestic tension - as well as surprisingly strong performances from actors like Neve Campbell and Donald Sutherland.
