Viewing Notes
The premise here is interesting and I like the thought, but it’s really hard to get past a couple of things. The main problem being - if this happens every year, and you’re so worried for your family’s safety, why the hell are you waiting until the very last second to lock down your home?! Take the whole day off.
Still, it’s well made and has some fun turns. I’ll be checking out the sequel soon.
