Well-made but rather disappointing quasi-“thriller” (because it’s not thrilling) coasts along like it’s going to be interesting, and never gets there. Survivors of an unspecified apocalyptic event cower in the basement of a hospital while unspecified creatures roam above. And, that’s pretty much it. Slight nods to drama happen—one person gets shot early, another walks outside of their own will, a third disappears behind a closed door and appears to be meet an unspecified painful fate by unspecified monsters—but that’s it. Nothing really happens.
Plus, it has a soundtrack by Einstürzende Neubauten. Which, I mean, what could do a better job of saying, “this should be interesting”?
Eventually, and I only know this because it was pointed out in a single IMDB review, there’s a single image near the end that briefly explains what it’s all supposed to be about, and kind of redeems it all a little bit. But blink and you’ll miss it, and it’s much too small, quiet, and difficult-to-see a payoff. A movie shouldn’t need to be explained to be enjoyable, it should speak for itself.
