Not meant to be an alien invasion movie or anything like. About human perseverance

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2019)

I get the idea of knowing what is happening. The idea of having the perfect mix of people get stuck in a house after an attack. I watch movies. This movie was not that and not meant to be that. It is based more on a reality. Let's say something crazy liked this happened. You are driving and your sister/wife/husband saw something that made her want to commit suicide. They did. You run into the next house. At this point do you look for the Brain, The basket case, the princess, the criminal, the jock? No...this is not a John Hughes film. Reality...you get what you get. You deal with it. Sure they had to add some characters, but the entire plot of this movie is perseverance of a future mother and then actual mother. At no time does she, or will she, know what is causing this. She could give up, give up one kid, or move on and hope with little to hope for. Again...human perseverance. The outcome has no major closure for sure, but it give solace that she endured everything and kept her two kids alive. Why does everyone need to have that closure? How about reality. If this happened in real life you would never get the movie script you believe every movie should adhere to. This movie was very uncomfortable. No doubt. It is not one to bring the kids too. However, real world situation like this is not one to prepare your Kids for. In1983..."The day after". About nuclear war hitting the USA. Scared a nation. They didn't have hero's either...just reality. This movie simply has a minor scare factor that leads into a woman wanting to live and have her kids live too.
