Goofs The group makes three mistakes with the injections, which Anji's medical training should have prevented.

First, Tony, the father, injects his intravenously, which the vast majority of vaccines should not be, and one ought to assume a mystery vaccine without instructions should not be. Second, they sterilize the hypodermics in boiling water rather than alcohol, evidenced by the steam rising from the bowl, but the heat risks damaging the medicine.

Third, nobody swabs their skin with alcohol, which prevents infection at the injection site. Quotes [first lines] Annji : [pulling up in the car] Come on. User reviews Review. Featured review. Await Further Instructions: Well that was, interesting!? This film immediately got my attention, it seemed to fall under a sub category that I love and I was gripped.

Sadly it didn't deliver the way that I expected and that's a real shame. You see Await Further Instructions tells the story of a family brought together for Christmas. When drama occurs two of them decide to leave at the crack of dawn but find themselves locked in. Every door and window is sealed by some kind of metal and now the television is giving them instructions!

So what is going on? Or something more nefarious? I liked this, I liked the family dynamic and how they each reacted. When the two do bring up their arguments, the family all defend grandad and refuse to hear what either has to say. In this, we see the seed of the idea that the film intends to communicate: our inherent trust in media and the strong opinions we adopt from what we see.

This theme will become more present down the line, but even here, we can see how modern news can create such strong opinions. Later, Nick and Annji try to sneak out but discover that they are trapped within the house. The television turns on telling them to stay inside and await further instructions. At first, despite the odd scenario, the family decides to go with it as they presume that it's an emergency broadcast.

Tony insists that they continue with their Christmas holiday as if nothing is wrong. However, just as they prepare to eat dinner, another message tells them that every piece of food is contaminated and they need to throw it out. Tony, without thinking twice, complies. This is followed by the TV ordering them to scrub their bodies down with bleach and take used syringes that are delivered through their chimney.

Nick and Annji, the latter of which is a trained nurse, refuse, knowing the danger present. Download as PDF Printable version. In other projects. Wikidata item. British horror film. Dark Sky Films.
