I was attracted to this movie because as a 'horror' with an unusual villain (a global gas crisis) it had potential to be different. In the first few minutes I was thinking that we might see townsfolk interacting to deal with crisis, creative approaches, some evildoers and some that rise above, but no. What we get is a young couple whining at each other and dealing with only the most superficial problems that might result from an energy crisis.
The script and production is tremendously lame. How is she camping for 6 days in white style boots? How is the gas station closed for days in a snow storm clean plowed, and where on earth did all of the tire tracks come from? Why is there no evidence of power failure until days later? I can imagine how Google could survive the crisis but all the cell towers working?
IMDb estimates that this cost $10,000 to make. Maybe, since the actors were probably not paid and the sets consist of a walk through the woods, a small town early Sunday morning, and a couple of rental cabins. Where they should have spent the money is on a script that doesn't feel fake, and that contains some dialog that doesn't make you wonder why the two characters didn't kill each other long ago.
