REVIEWS:
I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the premise is strong and the pacing never lets up. The threat of the sunrise acts as a fantastic ticking clock. However, the human antagonists ruined the immersion for me. Lee and Carl feel like cartoonish stereotypes of 'drunk redneck bad guys' straight out of a cheap 90s action flick. Their dialogue is repetitive and lacks depth. If this script gets a rewrite to make the villains more terrifying and realistic, it could be great. As it is now, the concept carries the weak character work.
