Extremely minimalist: almost the entire movie takes place between a couple in a small cottage.
The story involves some sort of plague that turns people into infected/zombie monsters. We don’t see the cause or very much of the effect, outside of the two featured characters.
As time goes on and on, supplies become scarce, tempers become short and both undergo a gradual descent into semi-insanity; he from his constant journeys out to get food and other supplies, she from her constant and unbroken complete isolation.
Things become a bit unclear near the end, when the story and visuals could be shown through either’s eyes, one or both of whom may be seeing incorrectly.
Overall it’s somewhat interesting, especially given the limitations of the setting. But as part of me cheers the lack of generic descent into zombie action, part of me grows bored at what is basically a very long story of a failing relationship.
Grade: C-
