School teacher Gemma (Imogen Poots) and Tom (Jesse Eisenberg) are a happy couple. All they want is a house to call their own. They are led by peculiar salesman Martin to a strange subdivision. Every house looks the same. The sky is artificial. They cannot escape. They find a box full of supplies. After trying to burn down the house, they find a baby boy in a box.
This is a Twilight Zone episode stretched out into a movie. It is interesting visually. After the weird premise, the story does not really pick up. I also hate the screaming child. It's very annoying. What the movie needs is a series of scenes where the couple is trying stuff. There should be a montage of them trying to escape. They should be tearing through the houses. I appreciate digging the hole but it's not an exciting activity. The ending does have an exciting chase down a rabbit hole. That saves the movie for me. This is puzzle that ends where it begins with no particular message.
