Before getting pick to handle the much bigger budget and very silly The Darkest Hour, Chris Gorak made this great inventive thriller about a huge event but done cleverly on a small indie scale.

It's pretty effective too and also manages to get some great imagery. While the action is localised to a single house for the most part the few glimpses of outside L.A. exploding or covered in toxic ash is great.

The first half of the film is surprisingly tense and effective. Then of course this becomes about the character drama which is well done but the twisty ending, while fine and serving of a purpose does feel a little cheap compared to the rest of the film.

Still I think it's a brilliant example of doing a large scale high concept film on a small budget and pulling it off effectively, so it's no wonder Hollywoods been scouting Gorak for his talent.
