Why Watch This
A fresh twist on the zombie genre, blending sci‑fi horror with a coming‑of‑age story set in a bleak, post‑apocalyptic world. The film’s claustrophobic setting and moral dilemmas keep you on edge.

The CinePearl Take
Colm McCarthy delivers a tightly paced thriller that never lets its tension sag, thanks in large part to Sennia Nanua’s magnetic performance as the enigmatic child, Melanie. Glenn Close adds gravitas as the hardened scientist, while the film’s exploration of humanity versus survival feels eerily relevant. The muted colour palette and restrained gore make the horror feel grounded rather than gratuitous.
