Viewing Notes

An insane, ballsy disaster flick that pulls few punches while upping the ante every 15 minutes. Even the odd comedy beats don’t disrupt the edge of seat thrills on display. Some seriously intense moments. Color me impressed esp. since Kim Ji-hoon’s last flick, Sector 7, was a letdown.

Crazy how good this is and easily my favorite of the year so far. My hands hurt from clenching my jacket so tightly. Love that this takes place on Christmas Eve. Irwin Allen would be proud. Also one of the few films of this type I would totally watch again.
