“Await Further Instructions” (** out of four) was a tiresome psychodrama about a family (David Bradley, Holly Weston, Sam Gittins, and others) who awaken on Christmas Day to find a mysterious black substance surrounding their house and the news gives everyone the title instructions but their increasing paranoia and restlessness and uncertainty leads to them descending into madness and turning against one another. Interesting story of mass and personal hysteria but it eventually wears out and loses its edge. Good performances hold your attention for a little while but you should probably await a better movie instead.
