About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, pressure-cooker survival thriller focused on people unraveling under stress, but Not for you if you need hopeful heroes, clear explanations, or can’t handle disturbing violence like in The Purge.
Pros: intense claustrophobic tension; unsettling human breakdown; strong performances | Cons: frustrating character decisions; grim vulgar content; unanswered plot threads
