I like the idea, the concept is sound (no spoilers, sorry) but it's execution is flat. It feels like a half baked BBC drama more than a Horror on Netflix.
The cast is fine, downtrodden but likeable in a 'not entirely likeable sort of way' I think it probably wants to be more of a social commentary than an actual horror...
And it's this which I think is part of the problem, it wants to show the horrors that people are fleeing from and the perils and loss of the journey but that (if done properly) would be enough, better even than what we wind up with here.
People will review it well and say it's the best movie of the year etc, but it isn't, if it is then they need to watch more movies... It could have been so much better, it's a shame they wasted the opportunity.
