Who'll love it
Made for horror fans, sci-fi fans and fantasy fans. If you loved 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple or Resident Evil, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 30 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Five kids wake up in a world where everybody has disappeared.
