Dead Within

So the zombie apocalypse happens, and it's just you and your spouse, locked in a cabin, away from the world. Your spouse ventures out for food and supplies, but they insist you don't go, because it's safer inside. So they go out for long stretches of time and you wait, inside, listening to the noises of the end of the world. Days turn to weeks turn to months, and, most of the time, it's just you. You and the starvation and the lack of sleep and light and the nothing. How long until you begin to lose your mind, just a little? How long until you aren't quite sure what's real and what's not? How long until it's worse being inside than it would being out? How much can a mind take before it snaps? How long do you trust yourself, or your spouse, or anything you see or hear? Think about it for a while. You think you know what you'd do, we all would. We think, I would always know what was real. I would always know what to do. But how do you know that? And does being that sure of your own sanity leave that much more room for insanity to creep in? Think about all this, and then watch this film. You won't be disappointed. 4/5
