Ray (Alexander Skarsgård),Claire (Andrea Riseborough),and their daughter Zoe (Emily Alyn Lind) have been hiding in an underground bunker for 301 days. There are unspoken dangers above hunting them. They may be the last survivors.
Before Stranger Things, The Duffer Brothers made this movie. It's their only feature length film. It's a small horror. It came and went without much fanfare. This is a back-filling exercise for me. The guys seem to have a good sense of tension and dread. It is very small and atmospheric. In a few instances, the dialogue comes off clunky. It is a little notable to see them with another child actor. This one is asking her to do more and she mostly pulls it off. She's experienced despite her young age. About halfway thru, I got a notion of the twist. The monster design is lacking which does lead to my guess. There is a double twist which is kinda cool but I would have done it differently.

Plot summary
In the film, Ray (Skarsgård),Claire (Riseborough) and their seven-year-old daughter, Zoe, are an average American family in Kingsville, North Carolina - except they have existed in a bomb shelter since escaping a day of devastation that changed everything. For 301 days, they have transformed their cement prison into a home, holding on to memories of the past and hope for a normal life someday. And for 301 days, the family has eluded what looms above the surface - the heavy breathing and booming footsteps that punctuate the night, threatening their fragile existence. All the while, the family has managed to stay hidden. Until now. Now their safe haven has been breached... and something is coming for them.

The Duffer Brothers
Little Gem in the Horror Genre
In Kingsville, Ray (Alexander Skarsgård),his wife Claire (Andrea Riseborough) and their little daughter Zoe "Zozo" (Emily Alyn Lind) have been living in an underground shelter for three hundred days hidden from the "Breathers". They have created and follow four rules to stay alive. Ray frequently recalls when an outbreak reached Kingsville and the army bombed the whole town during the quarantine, and he believes they are the only survivors. When they find that many supplies have been stolen from the pantry, Ray finds that a rat is the responsible. They chase the rodent and there is an accident with a kerosene lamp that burns a table. Now they are afraid that the "Breathers" might have seen the smoke. Will they be safe in the shelter?
The tense "Hidden" is a little gem in the horror genre. The plot seems to be a conventional post-apocalypse story, but the plot point is absolutely original and unexpected. Alexander Skarsgård),Andrea Riseborough and Emily Alyn Lind are very convincing in the role of a trapped family. The hopeless conclusion is too dark and the consequences will certainly be devastating for either side. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): Not Available
They found us.
A virus breaks out which effects the human population. Zoey (Emily Alyn Lind) and her parents are in a bomb shelter hiding from "The Breathers" as the film opens. There are some flashbacks, but it is light. The first 45 minutes introduces the characters and their life as we wonder about the "Breathers." At 45 minutes or so the action begins as the film takes a wicked Twilight Zone twist. Didn't see it coming. Bravo.
If anything they could have made given the characters some character, but that appears to have been by design Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
