Reviews from Letterboxd

1. horrormika – ★★★☆☆
   “This was a pretty interesting movie. I liked the concept because I love these types of movies where people get locked up somewhere and try to find their way out. It was kinda disturbing honestly, but nothing that disturbing. I would highly suggest it to people that like Cube/Saw types of movies.”

2. ava adore – ★★★★☆
   “File that under movies I’ve wanted to see since age 13 because I saw the cover art at MovieStop. Picture me: a fourth grader obsessively reading ‘Alive’ aka the book about the Andes plane crash and the cannibalism that resulted from it. Honestly, what a time.”

3. Madison – ★★★½☆
   “Luke: he’s dying anyway let’s just eat him. Jordan: sir that’s my emotional support older man that I’m trapped in a hole with.”

4. Joachim Andersson – ★☆☆☆☆
   “I love the fact that they spend a month or so in that room but everyone is clean-shaven.”

5. Valouu13 – ★½☆☆☆
   “C’est vraiment nul.” (Translation: “It’s really bad.”)
