Full reviewThe movie is a close-quarters psychological thriller built artfully and honestly, from the ground up, with more of a nod to early John Carpenter than mid-period Danny Boyle.
Full reviewTrey Edward Shults's nerve-shredding domestic thriller joins the rarified company of Cormac McCarthy's 2006 novel The Road and the handful of intimate post-apocalyptic scenarios that puncture through to our deepest fears.
Full reviewThis modest science-fiction thriller brings the hands-on vigour of independent filmmaking to a high-concept premise, but the results are insubstantial and impersonal.
Full reviewMr. Shults doesn't jolt the audience with false scares or showy plot twists. He builds up the dread with ruthless efficiency and minimal gimmickry, relying on and refreshing some of the oldest techniques in the book.
Full reviewAs he did in "Krisha," Shults avoids the conventional trap of exposition, relying instead on his striking command of the medium to evoke the inner life of a family under extraordinarily bleak circumstances.
Full reviewThe film confirms that Shults, working again with DP Drew Daniels, has a sure and fluent grasp of cinematic storytelling, his stripped-down narrative pulsing with dread and emotion.
Full reviewA slow-burn family drama with thriller moments and a tone more in keeping with apocalyptic feel-bad flick, The Road.
