It reminded me of "The Twilight Zone"


Especially episodes like "The Old Man In The Cave," "The Shelter," and "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street," where in a crisis it's not contamination and bombs people need to fear ... it's other people.

When you said Twilight Zone, I immediately thought of "The Shelter". Possible spoiler: I'm not sure how you come back from an experience like the people in either picture faced.

So surprised that nobody has mentioned the obvious story theft from John Carpenter's 'The Thing' (1982)

Exact same premise, this is set in the woods not in a polar frozen landscape but other than that it's clearly a blatant rip-off.

What makes it worse is that Joel Edgerton who plays the main character in this movie actually stared in the 2011 remake of "The Thing"!

Maybe that's why director Trey Edward's asked Joel Edgerton to star in this movie as he wouldn't have to stretch himself to do anything differently from what he did on the set of 'The Thing' 5 years prior.
