A good cast helps this entertaining enough jaunt saunter along. The premise isn't too bad or too new although some greater plot issues are papered over in very broad strokes, this is kept in place by keeping family front and centre in the story - I thought keeping things a bit smaller in scale regarding the over all arc would have been more traditionally successful however that's not the premise of the book. No great budget here - this would have been "straight to dvd" back in the day and a relatively decent enough one at that. A Quiet Place and Bird Box would spring instantly to mind - but this isn't up to their level in budget or viewing. Gives me a more TV Stephen King adaptation vibe. On the upside mom, pop, grandma and sister all come across as memorable enough characters and the story did give a twist or turn for those in the mood for the genre.
