    Storyline

    Edit
    This film is set in the near future in a post-apocalyptic time with five survivors struggling to get through each day. They are on the move to find food and other survivors as well as a safe place to hold up for a while. They stumble across a dilapidated house in the country, so they check it out when things turn bad. The house is not as safe as they hoped, and there are other people who have morbid uses for them. Will they survive? —Michael Hallows Eve

    • Trivia
      All the principal cast members helped design their own clothes. For example, Ashley Bell came up with the knee and elbow pads that Mary wears in the movie.
    • Goofs
      When Mary is at the river, she washes her skirt and we can see how it is soaked in the water. After she shoots the man that is chasing her, Shannon comes to her and when they both are running back to the house it's completely dry.

      Adam: I fear for all the souls and pieces of shit that try and get into this house tonight.

    6/10
    It wasn't my favourite film but its okay.
    All things considered it is a Canadian film with a limited budget. So if you take that into consideration it is pretty good. But comparing it to other films it scores a lower score. The story and creating the feel for it was done very well but that is not enough to make it higher than 6/10. the acting was acceptable and the cinematography was above average. Even though it wasn't my favourite film I did like it enough to watch it again. Just for the shear art of the film. Don't get me wrong it is not philosophical or anything but what they were able to do with the little resources they had made it worthwhile. Sometimes when we watch movies we need to judge them for what they are. And like I said already and cant emphasis enough this move is very good for what they had, it just wont be winning any awards any time soon.
