4/10
Good ideas, marred by stilted dialog and inconsistent acting

Found footage (sorta) movie about five people escaping mass terrorism by hiding out in the hills in a very nice cabin. One of the five wakes, apparently after being out for days, to be told how the "city" has gone to hell in a handbasket because of international terrorism (dirty bombs, bioweapons in water supply). The majority of the movie is about her relation to the other escapees. When one of the four is killed, a fifth appears who is suspected of being a terrorist.

I won't give anymore away.

I found the concept intriguing. The setting appeared sufficiently remote to support the plot. What made it tough was numerous lines of dialog that read like a translation of much better foreign dialog--stilted, overdramatic, unmotivated by events--and an ending that I suspected was coming but left me unsatisfied.

Another reviewer mentions Trump Derangement Syndrome and blames the movie on Democrats. No idea where that is coming from. There is some mention of Trump on a car radio, but nothing in the movie is attributed to him or his actions as president.
