Fantastic idea just needed alot more thought

I watched this with an open mind, being an Saw geek, i kind of knew what to expect in the blurb but thought i would give this a chance. A few problems i found with this film. I never really got to like or love the characters, i do not put that down to really poor acting (it wasn't great to be honest). but considering the goal was to last 24 hours alive, i had no insight as to why they were chosen, they were not likable people. For me its a one watch wonder. It could have been a masterpiece if it was more thought provoking and realistic. But a lot of the time extremely distressing things were happening , yet half the people involved either didn't seem that bothered or just looked lost in the role they should have been portraying. If this is your kind of subgenre of horror give it a watch but don't expect magic. I have seen many low budget films, Colin for example (which was not too good) which is stated to have a budget of just 45 pounds. That jumped hoops over this film. Thankyou for reading

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
