Citadel (2012)

A young man and his heavily pregnant girlfriend are violently attacked by a gang in the urban decaying city block that they reside in, his girlfriend dies, but the child survives.Tommy (Anuerin Barnard) is left to raise the child alone, and after the attack he suffers extreme agoraphobia, and paranoia that the gang will return....

A kind of urban horror, where the terror lies out in the streets of modern Britain, "Citadel" is it must be said tough viewing, not the subject matter which shows promise, but the pacing of the movie plods along at a painfully slow pace and it's hard 'take' to Tommy or any of the supporting cast.

Some good ideas and creepy visuals, but hard to recommend really.
