Desperate isolation

I always like to watch disaster films, and the performance of human nature in a desperate environment. Obviously this film is assembled.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a very sadistic film. The film starts with a few people trapped in an abandoned space. There is a nuclear explosion outside, and the people inside are anxious because they cannot connect with the outside world. One of Mickey's Humans are the masters of this space, it provides food and water for the rest, and closes the door to prevent nuclear dust from seeping in.



At this time, because they were kept in panic and waiting, although the mood of several people was a little uneasy, they were still united. Eating a seemingly large supply of canned food every day, the child slowly returned to calm in the arms of his mother.



However, when a group of soldiers in biochemical suits broke in, the nightmare began.



Several people thought it was their savior, never thought that the soldiers pointed their guns at them, and mercilessly took the children and wounded them, so they rose up and killed the soldiers and killed two people, and one of them tried to wear biochemical clothes. He tried to rescue the child, but it was all in vain.



The door was welded from the outside, and they'll stay here forever.



The mentality of several people changed and distorted.



The heroine Eva is the coolest person. She witnessed the degeneration of the mother who lost her daughter. The single mother thought she could exchange her body for safety and food, but became a sex slave.



Her boyfriend seemed so weak and incompetent in this environment that he couldn't even protect himself in the end.



The only man he trusted was a comfort in loneliness, but he was also mercilessly killed in the end.



In the end, she left the place with her belongings in desperation and discarded the remaining two. In the music of despair, she was crying and pretending to be something. She endured the stench and walked through the septic tank to the ground, only to find that the outside had changed beyond recognition. The explosion flattened the world. She escaped that enclosed space, but she still couldn't survive.



The film finally freezes in the eyes of her dazed biochemical suit.



The most memorable part of the film is the loss of control of several groups of people, the exposure of everyone's selfish and greedy nature, Mickey is the most innocent, he originally wanted a few people to stay here slowly waiting for the nuclear radiation to dissipate, maybe there are still life Hopefully, he will save himself a little privacy and the last of the food, but unfortunately the black brother's paranoia ruins everything. After two perverted men control the distribution of food, everything goes astray. The single mother was tortured to death, one person was killed. The weak heroine and Mickey were left in the space and burned to death.



The closed space is not the most desperate, the desperate is the endless waiting.
