So as it seems, already people agreed that there's nothing new here, nothing original, nothing outstanding, even more, you're going to find what you've already seen 1000 times.
Even so, movies like this could be enjoyable, yet, not this one, it's too dull, you have to wait for a loooong time for anything to happen and when it finally does...I don't know, it's dull, it's just dull. Now, a budget of £2,000,000 kinda takes you out of the indie section right? Therefore, you can't say you love it for the fact that is small, made with extra love and people might just find it in their hearts to like it! Only reason to enjoy it is if you're a fan of the director, cause he returned with one guy from his previous movies, so I guess it's safe to say you wanted to take a look further into their careers, you found this little gem, and there you have it, you're satisfied!
As a huge horror fan, I might say,I watched it with my gf, we both got bored, she even left the room, I almost prayed for the movie to end sooner, but it didn't. Therefore, it's all up to you, do as you please, watch it or don't; my opinion --> DON'T! You can do a lot better than this one!

Comedown is a horror movie filmed in the UK about a group of teens who go into an abandoned apartment tower and end up being terrorized by a killer. The film starts out pretty slow. It takes about 30 minutes for something to finally happen, which seems to be consistent with most of the horrors I've watched in the past few weeks. As much as I love movies and television that comes from the UK, sometimes the accents are really hard to understand. This is one of those movies. Although Comedown takes a while to get going, it gets better, but not by much. It's your basic "trapped in a place while a killer as he picks off all the characters, one by one" type of films. Some of the killings are pretty good, but it still falls pretty short of originality. I did appreciate the scene where one of the girls fights back really hard, that was probably my favorite scene, although it was pretty short. I would say that Comedown is a "take it or leave it," type thriller/horror. Overall, it's just OK.

Some people just need to get off their high horse. This is a new generation of good British Drama. It's the emergence of a younger generation cultivating their own language, therefore the dialect is true to type of certain communities. Traditionalists are in denial that this section of society exists, and that their language has found its way into the movies.
The movie hosts a mix of teen crime, mischievous behaviour, youth cult and culture. It's the result of all growing up in a Tower Block in the same area, where the likelihood is that they all attended the same schools and went through the UK schooling system, and gang warfare - but these were not gangs - these were just a group of friends with 'attitude'.

COMEDOWN is a low rent British horror film set entirely within the confines of a deserted tower block. The gritty realism and the setting made me hope for something along the lines of TOWER BLOCK or ATTACK THE BLOCK, but unfortunately this is nothing like those two (great) movies. Instead it's a cheap slasher, almost entirely devoid of imagination.
Headlining the cast is Jacob Anderson, best known to audiences for his role as Grey Worm in GAME OF THRONES. Anderson and his buddies, including a pregnant girlfriend and an obnoxious type (Adam Deacon, playing firmly to type) hole up in a run-down building to help run a pirate radio station, but their drug-fuelled highs come crashing down when a killer starts picking them off one by one.
COMEDOWN must feature one of the least menacing bad guys ever, and when you learn of his motivations you'll laugh out loud, they're that slim. The kills, which are what most horror fans will watch this for, are relatively tame, and there just isn't much in the way of suspense built along the way. It doesn't help that the dialogue is moronic throughout and that every twist in the script is well-choreographed. Add in some quite terrible cinematography, meaning 95% of this takes place in near blackness, and you have a quite unworthy film.

A grimy & gritty low-budget London based urban slasher where a bunch of vile street rats get killed off one by one in a rundown abandoned Block of flats & it's a pretty bad film because the gang are vile & the type in real life you want to get killed off!!!
An all British urban version of an American Slasher & here i rooted for the KILLER!!!!
