I enjoyed the movie - it's the kind of films I like - some science fiction, a little scary, a study of human reactions when put into insane situations... Yep... right up the Val alley.
One thing I think would have made it a better movie is to have included another small character or two. It would have been nice to have been given a little more on what was happening outside of the shelter. I know - that was kinda the point of the movie, but something - like a short blurb announced on the radio would have helped build more uncertainty about what was really going on. It just felt like it needed a little more interaction outside of the 3 characters.
John Goodman did an excellent job of being the uber creepy guy. It's hard for me not to think of him as Roseanne's husband, but he did a good job in the movie. I definitely did not think of Roseanne at all!
Anyway, overall - recommended (but not for little ones).
