Chris B If you can get over the wild premise that a mild mannered family would move into their lunatic neighbours basement for 'safety', it's not a bad afternoons entertainment, with decent acting and plenty of tension, its currently free on channel 4 player in UK. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Jim P Nah... poor movie all round... Avoid Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Rhiannon R Good movie. Bad final. I don’t recommend it good plot and idea they didn’t set it very well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Sandra A Derek Luke and Erica Alexander were amazing. This film had me wondering about our society, my family and the world. The acting of these two was phenomenal. Though everyone else were good, these two stood out. I am HUGE ERICA ALEXANDER FAN. I first saw Luke in Antwon Fisher some years back and he's evolved into one of the greats. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review John A An interesting look at the various ways people may deal with a collapse of society, including some of the asset/liability and paranoia/trust issues that arise. The movie thankfully avoided the low hanging fruit of 'because racisms'. Was going along kinda well till the last 10 minutes where everything from the script to the acting itself went in an unrealistic and absurd direction. The final two minutes seem like they tried to make up for the previous ten that had turned a good movie into a "Meh, it passed the time." movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Shopaholic R Great! How r all the bad movies rated high and good movies low! This is a 5 star for me!
