We learn later on through flashbacks that they just knew where it was as the military were firebombing their hometown to exterminate the infection. At this point, I’m wondering what their long term plan is. The rat starts eating all the food meaning the family have to lower their rations. How did it get into a place that is supposed to be impenetrable? That was a question. The first thing that goes wrong is that they realise that a rat is in the shelter. I know I couldn’t cope without the internet.

But the point is that they’ve managed to hold onto their sanity after almost a full year underground with virtually nothing to do. Why a fallout shelter would have a vent? I don’t know. 301 days underground where the only glimpse of the outside world that they see comes through the barely visible vent in the ceiling. They’ve been underground for 301 days when the film starts.

Of course the whole film is a series of unfortunate events and fuck ups that lead to the grand finale which will see our protagonists face up against a horde of the ‘zombies’. Claire seems to be the most headstrong, Ray seems to be the most preoccupied with keeping Zoe happy and Zoe is a liability, just like all children are in universes like this. There’s the mother, Claire (Andrea Riseborough), father, Ray (Alexander Skarsgard) and their nine year old daughter, Zoe (Emily Alyn Lind). If you’ve got a talented enough actor, you can have one person carry a lot of the film such as Will Smith in ‘I am Legend’ or (arguably) John Cusack in ‘1408’. There are varying degrees of quality in these kinds of films. Usually what happens in these kinds of films is because they’re all in such close quarters for the majority of the film, it’s all about the characters and depending on the number of characters, that can be either a good thing or a bad thing. I don’t blame you if you think it’s a bit generic but stick with it, the ending is worth it. By the way, spoilers are ahead but this does get my recommendation so if you don’t want to know what happens, find it and watch it. But this isn’t a ‘nuclear war’ film but an ‘outbreak’ film and we don’t find out what kind of outbreak until the end but since they’re hiding and there is a consistent reference to ‘Breathers’, it is assumed that they’re hiding from ‘zombie’ type creatures. So, this family is slumming it ‘The Divide’ style meaning they’ve locked themselves away in a nuclear bunker. The only three characters that you’re going to see for the majority of the film are the… OK so they aren’t actually rewarded with last names so I’m going to call them the ‘Every’ family after all the other families from a horror/psychological thriller. It certainly was OK for a very low budget film but I imagine it’s only ‘underrated’ because it had a very limited release and therefore, not much attention. This time, the film was sold to me as ‘on a list of underrated horror films’.
