Noel Murray Los Angeles Times A heroine as strong as Reese deserves a more consistently exciting plot. Nov 16, 2019 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times In truth, this "Deliverance"-style clash between Reese, a savvy teenager, and a passel of backwoods archetypes is only marginally more thrilling than the average wine tasting. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety The result is an offbeat conceptual mixture, albeit one that's somewhat frustrating and occasionally tedious, if beautifully photographed by Austin Schmidt. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinema Sentries The film is still little more than an attempt as it only scratches the surfaces of the issue it wants to dive into. Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Michael Frank Film Inquiry You just want to be immersed in any aspect of the film. Instead, we're given a boatload of lackluster moments with superfluous dialogue and trace amounts of danger. Dec 27, 2019 Full Review Ron Wilkinson It's Just Movies Nancy Drew meets the apocalypse in this mild-mannered coming of age road trip. Rated: 5/10 Dec 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey P Fans of post-apocalyptic film should enjoy this. Disaster preparedness folks are also likely to get a big thrill out of it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review April J How did this get the green light?? It didn't even put a complete story together! How did this movie get a director? Why didn't he just say no! This movie is just a big giant no! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review morgan l Another movie that feels like it's been constructed by an algorithm rather than actually human whose seen survival movies these last 50 years. Just a series of cliches that feel inevitable and tired. If you're really high you might laugh at this films deep irony Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This film has a good enough idea but has major problems with pacing. It's like watching molasses pour. Well, it's like watching very little plot (you could summarize the action in 30-40 words, really!) with long drives and long hikes and long chase scenes, and long knowing looks, long nature shots... It's just so slow moving you need to reach for the fast forward. Too bad. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty stupid conclusion to the movie.... if they had stayed at home for a few days everything would worked out with the power coming back, dad would still be alive and granddad would of made it to their house eventually. The farmer wouldn't of got killed and the hill billy kid would still be with his dick father. so only the kid benefits really from the entire escapade. Plus the fact she played a VR game for 5 mins right at the start is completely irrelevant to the synopsis or thumbnail for the film as it's not a part of anything later on. Would if made more sense if there was an all out purge which pushed them to leave the morning after a power outage. I mean who has a power cut and after 12 hours runs for the hills (literally) which FYI has no power either when you could hold up for a few days/week and see if the national guard role in to help or the power comes back on, at least you're in familiar space until things do go sideways then you have to leave. Just a completely unnecessary 98 minutes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I am really baffled by the poor and might I say lackadaisical and arrogant reviews of 0 and 43 from critics and viewers. If I'd come here before watching the movie, I would have never watched it. So, I watched it and became invested early on. The scenery, acting, and thrilling adventure across country held my attention long enough. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
