"There's been an attack. I'm not sure if its chemical or nuclear but down here we're safe." Michelle (Winstead) has just broken up with her boyfriend and is driving away trying to decide what to do with her life when she gets hit by a car. When she wakes up she is chained to a bed in a tiny room with no idea where she is. After Howard (Goodman) explains he is trying to save her from the devastation of the outside world she isn't sure what to believe. Now Michelle and fellow captive Emmett must decide if risking the possibly dangerous outside world is safer than staying with Howard. I was not looking forward to seeing this at all. I did not like the original movie at all and was expecting more of the same. I couldn't not have been more wrong. This movie takes place after the attacks of the first movie, but the style is totally different. First (and best) the movie is not a found-footage type thing. That is a huge plus. This is tremendously entertaining, keeps you guessing the entire time and is tense without trying to be. If you are avoiding watching this because of the original don't worry. This is much much better. When it ended I was actually hoping it would keep going. This is one of, if not the biggest surprise movies of the year for me. I highly recommend this. I give this an A-.
