Similar to The Road, in being a character driven piece concerning a father and son as they take up refuge in (what I assume) is an abandoned house. They share the house with the boys mother who is sick. It's an appropriately grim setup for the film. It is violent, but all the violence is implied and none is explicitly shown. It is a far more effective film because of this. The films true potential shines through in the cinematography and eerie lighting which reeks of dread and apprehension. The sound scape is also well done, although the climax sound-wise was a little lacking in the same level of tension that prevailed before it. All in all, a great university project, and hopefully all involved will move forward to even better things from this solid foundation.
