Wanderings and … wonderings.

This had auguries of pish for me. 

I’m sick to near-death of the zeitgeist high-concept apocalyptic horror/domestic drama crossover, the current trend kicking about the last few years consisting of 20-odd stinkers from the bargain bin somehow featuring proven talent. 

Ethan lets strangers into his home and they couldn’t act more dodgy. There is no reason to grant them entry but I suppose the plot has to happen. I turned it off after this. I’m not watching another one of these obvious metaphorical home invasion yarns again. 

I looked through the plot summary after the 16-minute viewing of torture. Was that it? Is this how easy it is to get a shite script made?

Just a horrible wee pointless film and everyone involved should be ashamed. 

My film pitch: a financially burdened middle-class family move into an Anderson shelter due to financial woes, and externally there is a civil war kicking off, but the youngest child isn’t interested as he/she/them/it is too engulfed in the pleasures of the mobile phone. Some super-smart badgers invade the garden and try and take over the realm.

^Put a ‘star’ in that and it would be made.
