Cute but very sad & I was hoping for more action scenes ..
As others have said, very 'lord of the flies'. Ok movie, plenty of tension but rarely scary. Lots left unexplained, which dampened the plot somewhat.
i wasted battery usage on my phone.
Holy shit(should I say HOLLY shit-watch and you will understand this reference)! This was a very dark movie about a group of kids trying to make it in unbelievable circumstances. Maybe I am reading more into it than is necessary, but I took this movie at a much deeper meaning. The kids face a society of adults who have become violent towards the youth, much like these teens would probably visualize adults having been abused, neglected, and forgotten by them in the course of their lives. This is a thought-provoking slow burner of a film meant to invoke emotions and conversations.
Omg, WOW! I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was; I could easily say it’s as good as 28 Days Later! Also gets you right in the feelz, as the relationships between the characters & the feelings they share are touching. Quite sad, so be prepared for that. Might even watch again someday!
