I'm a fan of all sorts of film and I especially love those little "undiscovered" films that stand out. The problem is, when you seek out films of that nature, you run into far more like this. It wants to be deep. It tries real damned hard to be Art. But to this viewer, it was neither. I'd use the word Tedious. Aside from the, and I use this term as lightly as humanly possible, music (which was little more than repeated noises and Girl Moans..), the thing that bothered me the most was the camera filter. At several points in the film it looks like pantyhose with a hole cut in them are stretched over the lens, the edges of the screen are dark and the center almost looks like you are watching the film by flashlight. It's not artsy or claustrophobic, it's sophomoric lighting and cinematography. Actually, if this was a student film... no.. wait. Nevermind, it would still be boring. The actresses are all capable of handling better material. If I were them, I'd fire my agent. As a moviegoer, you'd do better watching pretty much anything else up to and including paint drying.

This film is getting a lot of unnecessary politically charged criticism that has really nothing to do with what makes this film "broken" for a lack of a better word. The acting is so-so. I at least believe them often enough that I forgive a bad reading here or there. There are plenty of loose metaphors scattered about and really this is the main issue. This film wanders in a setting that's to small to really get going.

And there is the major "elephant in the room"... regrading the windows.... ugh. I get it "wUt iF wE GEt cOMfoRtableeeeeee."

If you watch a lot of movies already give this a shot maybe you'll get something out of it. If you're a more casual viewer skip it

Its 'Lord of the flies' meets 'The Hole'

An effing waste of time on a try hard Arthouse piece of trash. What was the point of the movie? Bad acting and direction.

I cannot understand why this movie has such a poor rating. It's definitely for the art house crowd, there's no denying that. However, when taking on a whole, the movie has much more than it seems to show on the surface. The other reviewers comparing it to Lord of the Flies are correct, with a similar vibe, just in a "disaster strikes at a birthday slumber party" way. I'm not saying this movie is great, because it's not. What it is, is an interesting representation of what happens to people left to their own devices in a crisis situation. Watch it for the acting, which is very good, and don't read too much into it, and you might actually enjoy this movie.

This is about a group of girls trapped in a house, after a catastrophic event, slowly going mad as food and water runs out. You immediately think Lord of the Flies but nothing happens. The characters are just unlikeable. You end up not caring at all about them. It's supposed to be arty but just ends up like a really bad school play.
