A true gem. This is an absolutely near-perfect survival horror film which succeeds not by breaking new ground in a traditionally threadbare subgenre, but by anchoring it completely with characters that feel incredibly real and grounded.

If only the film didn't suffer by committing one truly unforgiveable omission in the last 5 minutes, I wouldn't have a single complaint about this film.

There is no other movie that you can compare this to. It is without equal and sits in a subgenre comprised only of it, even though it's clearly drawing broadly on a lot of the work of the Wachowskis. With…
