This one was just okay for me. Based on the title and description, I was expecting a darker, more post-apocalyptic or dystopian horror story. Instead, it leaned much more into the family-drama genre, with only light touches of the end-of-the-world elements.
I did enjoy the characters, they were likable and had some fun moments. Although I believe the story wrapped up a little too neatly for my taste. I was hoping for more grit, more chaos, and more of the survival tension that the premise seemed to promise.
If you go into it knowing it’s more about family dynamics than apocalyptic horror, you might enjoy it more than I did.
