This claustrophobic sci-fi thriller follows a disgraced journalist confronted with an unexplained artefact that may not be of this world, but is about to become the centre of hers. Cast out and eager to salvage her reputation, an unnamed journalist retreats to her parents’ house to work on a podcast about the paranormal and the unexplained. While researching, she learns about a retiree’s encounter with a puzzling black brick, which appeared seemingly out of nowhere. A raft of similar anecdotes involving other black bricks then leads her down shadowy paths and to a desperate fixation on the truth behind the mysterious objects - until, one day, a sinister brick of her own appears.

A minimalist mystery thriller that starts strong but fizzles out towards the end. I usually enjoy films featuring a single character in one location, and the idea of a podcast creator uncovering her most challenging mystery through phone calls and her show is intriguing. Lily Sullivan was an excellent choice, carrying this one-woman show effortlessly. However, it's a shame the potential was squandered by an underdeveloped script. The direction the story took in the final third didn’t sit well with me — I would have preferred it remained impersonal.
