In the near future on a decimated Earth, Paul and his twin sons face terror at night when ferocious creatures awaken. When Paul is nearly killed, the boys come up with a plan for survival, using everything their father taught them to keep him alive.

A post-apocalyptic action horror written by Michael Nilon and directed by Benjamin Brewer and a pretty good one too. After a slow but intriguing first 20 minutes or so the tension really starts to build and never really lets up, the action sequences are quite intense and there’s a nice tone-setting score by Kristin Kontrol and Josh Martin. Nicolas Cage puts in an understated yet believable performance as the father, but he pretty much takes a back seat here as the main players are Jaeden Martell and Maxwell Jenkins as his sons and they’re well supported by Sadie Soverall and Joe Dixon. The main downside to this movie that most people are picking up on is the way it’s filmed with the shaky camera style, but this didn’t bother me at all.

All in all this is a good little independent movie and nice addition to the creature feature horror genre.
