Nine strangers survive the unthinkable when the basement of their high-rise apartment building protects them from a nuclear attack on New York City. With unspeakable horrors waiting on the outside and no hope for rescue, the group descends into madness as the days pass. As supplies dwindle and tensions flare, they grow increasingly unhinged by hopelessness and close quarters. They turn on one another, and each act of physical and psycho-sexual torment becomes more depraved than the last. Only one survivor holds on to a thin chance for escape, even with no hope of salvation on the other side of the bunker door.

This was by FAR the WORST movie I've ever seen. The first 30 minutes was an amazing setup, then it drove off the cliff. It was too long, had no defining plot that made sense, and just overall bad. There were 2 actors that carried the movie, and they killed the first one off quickly, and the 2nd one went crazy. You saw it coming from the beginning. Please don't waste your time. Even in a pandemic, there is more to LIFE than watching this mess.

I could only take 45 minutes of this crap. Very unrealistic right from the opening scene. How do you have lighting flashes at the center of a nuclear detonation. Why would you stand there staring at a mushroom cloud with a blank facial expression while everyone around you is screaming and running for their lives. And why would hostiles set up a scientific labratory at ground zero? Does that sound realistic to you? And how do hostiles manage to clear such a huge debris radius AND create an elaborate labyrinth for their laboratory without any U.S military intervention? To watch this movie, you'd have to believe that 1 bomb took out the entire country, including military, and the only survivors on the planet are the characters in the movie and the hostile asian scientis. As far as the acting, it was formulaic, i.e typical - people stranded together in dire circumstances become unreasonably annoyed, antagonistic, and increasingly insane leading to their demise, instead of being practical, reasonable, and working together. When the guy running from the hostiles shooting at him, fell down and dropped his gun then got up and ran left his gun there, I couldn't take it anymore.

I thought this movie was very entertaining. Superb character development!! It shows the true nature of these individuals in an extreme survival situation, post apocalyptic senario. This had me wondering who I would become having been put in this terrible situation. Some scenes are hard to watch.
