It is set in the remote future for no essential reason I guess so they could max out their visual effects budget in the first five minutes of the film. The film centers on two sisters who are faced with the daunting task of surviving a massive power grid failure in the Pacific Northwest.

This was certainly the goriest Lifetime Network original movie to date. I wouldn't fully recommend it, because it's not the type of movie that's easy to digest, but I thought it was damn good and that's all that matters to me. This is not gonna be everybody's cup of tea, but I thought it was a damn good movie with some excellent performances that should be seen. The way the movie gets to that is interesting, to say the least, but I feel it works in the long run. And, ultimately, it is also about new beginnings. It's not about Eva and Nellie finding a new place to live, it's not about fighting back against mobs of the undead or violent humans. That's what the narrative is about, really. I can relate to that and I'm a man without siblings. It's about the things we do for the ones we love.
While it's obvious that this about a sisterly bond, the themes the movie explores really are kind of universal. Well, thankfully enough, their performances were so great that they definitely made it feel like they were sisters and that they would do absolutely anything for each other. I mean it makes sense in this universe, since the mother was a brunette and the father was blonde with blue eyes, but those two just don't feel like they could be sisters in a movie. I say that because, out of the gate, Ellen and Evan do not look like they could ever be sisters. And the movie definitely needed those performances. Both Evan and Ellen give some of their career best performances. And, to their credit, both women are pretty phenomenal in this movie. One that completely relies on the performances of Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood. Is it what I would call a great movie? Not necessarily, but it's a damn good one regardless. This focuses more on the human element, which manifests itself in seeing how these two sisters deal with this massive power outage. This isn't that movie and you shouldn't go in expecting any of that, because of your preconceived idea of what a movie about the apocalypse should be. A dangerous world where you face a thousand ways to die every second of every day. Not necessarily with the zombies, but certainly more along those lines. But I'm not ruling out that people thought this was gonna be a Walking Dead-esque movie about the apocalypse. There's none of that and, to me, that's why I believe audience scores weren't as positive. There's no real endgame that seeds are planted for early in the beginning. The movie doesn't really have much of a conventional narrative. It's more of a we don't have power, no internet, no phones, no gas, that sort of stuff. It tells the story of two sisters struggling to survive after a continent-wide power outage pretty much destroys civilization as we know it. I'm not saying that this is what Frozen should have been like, given the fact that this is a much serious movie, but it does far more with its ideas of sisterly love and devotion than Frozen could ever have imagined. It was held back entirely by the fact that it was concentrated on being a stupid musical first instead of telling a great story between the bond and love between the two sisters at the center of Frozen. But, let's be real here, Frozen is a good movie that should've been amazing. I know this is gonna look bad because I did, in fact, give Frozen a good score and I even went on to say that I thought it was a good movie. I don't think it's been any secret, at least to any one who knows me, that I was not a big fan of Frozen.
