About This Movie

The film shifts seamlessly from mundane routines to a palpable sense of dread as families grapple with the fallout—both literal and emotional. The performances are understated yet powerful, especially as the town's residents confront loss and despair. The practical effects, though not flashy, add a grim authenticity to the chaos.
