This is about a group of girls trapped in a house, after a catastrophic event, slowly going mad as food and water runs out. You immediately think Lord of the Flies but nothing happens. The characters are just unlikeable. You end up not caring at all about them. It's supposed to be arty but just ends up like a really bad school play.
An earthquake strikes, and the home has only young women in it. With no water, no electricity, and no cell phone service, they are, of course doomed. Some may liken it to a female version of Lord of the Flies, except the boys were really trapped, and that is a far better movie. Olivia seems to be one who had her head about her, and Dolly holds on tightly to a doll, as it seems it is her only friend. There is dirt piled near the top of the windows, but since the house didn't suffer a lot of damage and the windows didn't break, it couldn't have been a massive amount of dirt, so they could have simply opened a window and crawled out. That would have made for a 5 minute movie, and be better. Instead, it degenerates into most of them living in filth, showing despair and basically going crazy. All in the space of a couple of days, at the most. No one seems to be able to come up with a plan. On top of that, the sound track becomes super annoying. It starts out like geese honking, then horns honking, and then (according to subtitles) women vocalizing. A truly terrible movie, and while 3 may seem generous, one may not want to know which movies I have rated lower than that.
I'm a fan of all sorts of film and I especially love those little "undiscovered" films that stand out. The problem is, when you seek out films of that nature, you run into far more like this. It wants to be deep. It tries real damned hard to be Art. But to this viewer, it was neither. I'd use the word Tedious.
Aside from the, and I use this term as lightly as humanly possible, music (which was little more than repeated noises and Girl Moans..), the thing that bothered me the most was the camera filter. At several points in the film it looks like pantyhose with a hole cut in them are stretched over the lens, the edges of the screen are dark and the center almost looks like you are watching the film by flashlight. It's not artsy or claustrophobic, it's sophomoric lighting and cinematography. Actually, if this was a student film... no.. wait. Nevermind, it would still be boring.
The actresses are all capable of handling better material. If I were them, I'd fire my agent. As a moviegoer, you'd do better watching pretty much anything else up to and including paint drying.
I spend lots of time watching all sorts of films from low budget art to sci-fi blockbusters and i can honestly say this is the worst thing my eyes have ever seen i can understand the attempt at showing human nature in its true form but this is pure drivel and unbelievable.
I created an IMDB account just to review this movie:
This movie is a total waste of your time. Everything feels cheap about it, its annoying, and it does not have any sense of story. And it doesn't make sense. Please just watch something else, if you are intrigued by my review, just skip through the movie and you will understand what I mean.
Hate to say it, garbage.
