After Lewis' death, she is put in charge of maintaining the machinery and the keys to the outside. There is dissension over leaving the bunker.
This is a micro budget indie. The production is limited. The actors are fine. The script is sparse. Alice is too slight to be threatening. Maybe give her a gun. The arguments seem manufactured which is only explained by the twist ending. It never seems real. As for the twist ending, there are missing visual cues. The whole movie is missing bits and pieces. This is a great high concept for an indie but the execution is not quite up to standard. There are little things that make the main section feel wrong and even the twist is unable to recover the plot.
