There are many irritating things about this film. The pacing, the horribly invasive soundtrack, the lack of plot and dialogue. But irritation that sparked this review is the films inference that the UK is seemingly sparsely populated and full of endless countryside. Yeah... No...sorry! For those unfamiliar with how the UK actually looks, here's a general depiction - housing estate, housing estate, housing estate, sliver of countryside, town, housing estate, sliver of countryside, village, housing estate, housing estate, sliver of "forest" (aka a patch of trees), housing estate, big city, housing estate, housing estate. You get the picture.
So to my point and the source of my irritation. If you are walking from London? To what looks like Scotland? Then you are going to pass through way more towns, cities, villages and ugly 80s housing estates (that ALL look the same) than wilderness and countryside. It's unavoidable and as such this film just doesn't make sense!! Surely you'd be seeking shelter in one of the many high-lying cities? I don't know. It just irritated me.
If you enjoyed the film Bird Box with Sandra Bullock then you will probably like this. They are similar in tone and plot.
