Whether or not you will like this film depends on how appealing the title of this review is to you.
It's a real mash up containing many, many tried and tested horror elements woven together well. Super derivative. What it does, it does very well... but there is nothing here you haven't seen before.
The cinematography is great. Super atmospheric and a lot of interesting stuff going on at the same time.
It fell a little flat for me because it was SO derivative, but a lot of people will love it. If I had never seen a horror film before, I would probably have given it 9/10. But I've seen lots of them so the lack of anything new made it a 5/10 experience for me. Still, it's free on Shudder so worth a watch.

Why did I bother? Why did they bother? Who gave them the money to make it?
The plot is meant to be original but it's kind of a derivative of loads of other movies: the purge, hunger games and all its copycats, logan's run. When I say other movies, I mean other much better movies. Even the bad hunger games copycats. The political statement they were trying to make was juvenile at best.
The acting was not good. All the actors barely bothered to dial it in.
The trailer was ten times better than the film. Kudos to whoever made the trailer!
Avoid.

Somehow I missed this when it was released, until I randomly saw it on Amazon today and gave it a watch. Which was lucky, as it's a film not to be missed.
Shades of The Sixth Sense, shades of The Machinist, a brooding atmosphere, Hitchcockian twists and turns and a star performance from Adrian Brody. Just superb.
It doesn't do anything massively original, but what it does... it does with an assured hand and it's totally engrossing. One of those slow burn films that grabs your attention and never lets go, with a pay off that delivers.
I was shouting at the screen at the end, always a good sign. Unless you're watching it on the bus, obviously.
