SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm with winds reaching 175 mph, is forecast to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday, with significant threats to the west coast. This is the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic since 2019 and the Gulf since 2005. The National Hurricane Center warns of potential catastrophic impacts, including an expected storm surge of 8 to 20 feet, exacerbated by recent devastation from Hurricane Halen and lingering effects of Hurricane Ian. A large evacuation is underway, reflecting the seriousness of the situation as the hurricane approaches, with watches issued from Key Largo to Marco Island.

SUMMARY: The film revolves around a family—a mother and her two sons—living in isolation due to a destructive evil force lurking outside. They must remain connected to their safe house by a rope, as the cunning evil seeks to lure them away. The filmmakers emphasize the complex character of the mother, balancing love and darkness. With a strong vision, they explore deep themes within the survival horror genre.
