Along the way, they saw many people started panic buying but they didn't realize what is going on.

Review: 
The movie premise is very simple. Most of the movie has been shot inside the apartment and also just outside their apartment but still inside the building. However, the director, Nicholas Goldbart is able to create some creepiness to the movie especially among the neighbors, when supplies are scarce and suspicions began to creep in. I particular like the movie background, where they used loud suspense piano play to create the feeling of suspense. The whole movie is a little slow pace but it creates enough tension to make you sit right through the movie. There are some funny moments with some quirky one liner between Horatio and Coco and the killings are short but brutal when Zanutto goes berserk. Although this is a low budget movie with some feeling of low budget, but it is a decent movie to watch. Though not as spectacular as the Spanish's REC but it is interesting in its own way.

Verdict:

I give this a 2.5 star over 5.
