Ashley Judd plays a tough woman protecting her nieces from a dangerous world, raising them in seclusion until an outsider threatens their sanctuary. The eerie production design adds style to the film, and the forest setting is used well. Contrived plot points detracts from the film's believability, stretching common sense.
A fierce woman protects her nieces on a remote homestead in the aftermath of an apocalyptic virus. Lazareth takes an intimate and nuanced view of the worst-case scenario with moderate success. The characters' seclusion forces a reckoning when outsiders interrupt a carefully crafted isolation. How do you react to strangers when curiosity and lust overcomes fear? The pieces don't quite fit together from a common sense and believability standpoint, but the human drama central to the narrative is fascinating to behold. Willing suspension of disbelief goes a long way here.
