0:00Early in the morning, engineer Jason is
0:02fishing at the pier. After getting
0:03nothing for days, he finally catches
0:05something, but the fish is too small, so
0:07he throws it back into the water. Then
0:09Jason sees a storm approaching, so he
0:11decides to go home. In the suburbs, it's
0:13already raining and all the neighbors
0:14are rushing to get home. Outside his
0:16house, Jason tries to open his garage,
0:18but the door isn't working. He has no
0:20choice but to leave the car outside.
0:22Inside, Jason says hello to the elderly
0:24dog Cassidy and notices that all the
0:26mail is debt collector letters,
0:27revealing he's currently unemployed.
0:29Then he brings donuts to his wife Anne
0:31and their children immediately join
0:32them. They try to play with their tablet
0:34while they have breakfast. However, the
0:35internet is down. Jason blames it on the
0:37house falling apart and Anne shows him
0:39an email from a repairman who has looked
0:41at the pictures she sent and has
0:42concluded the house foundation is
0:43sinking. The only thing holding the
0:45building together is the chimney. After
0:47breakfast, the family gets ready to get
0:48their Christmas tree. However, when they
0:50try to open the front door, they can't
0:52even make it budge. Jason then tries the
0:54back door, but it won't open either.
0:56Getting desperate, the whole family
0:57starts trying to open every window and
0:59door to no avail. The parents want to
1:01request help, but there's no internet or
1:02phone signal.
1:03>> [music]
1:03>> While Cassidy refuses to stop barking, a
1:05desperate Jason throws himself at the
1:07door and still nothing happens. Then he
1:09starts hitting the windows and manages
1:10to crack them, but none of them break.
1:12When they look outside, they see their
1:14neighbors trying to get their attention
1:15with a mirror, and they realize that
1:17other families are trapped in their
1:18homes, too. At that moment, they see
1:20Susan running down the street. They try
1:22to get their [music] attention, but she
1:23can't hear them. When she arrives at her
1:25house, she discovers she can't get in
1:26and her husband is trapped inside, so
1:28she immediately leaves to get help. As
1:30hours pass, the family tries to keep
1:32themselves entertained. Jason uses tools
1:34on the garage door, but it still won't
1:36budge. They discuss their neighbors and
1:38remember that one of them has a boat. A
1:39couple on a house write on a mirror that
1:41they're stuck after just a one-night
1:42stand. Meanwhile, the Richardsons begin
1:44communicating with a whiteboard, so
1:46Jason answers by using his kids green
1:48board.
1:48>> [music]
1:48>> The Richardsons think the government did
1:50this for their safety, while the boat
1:51owner theorizes it was aliens. Everyone
1:54wonders if it's just their city or the
1:55whole world. That night, when Jason puts
1:57Ruth to bed, she theorizes that the rain
1:59caused this because it looks different.
2:01Then Jason goes to his room and Ann
2:03admits she's on the verge of a nervous
2:04breakdown. Jason assures her they'll be
2:06fine and reveals he has a gun in the
2:08closet. Ann freaks out since he never
2:10told her about it, but also asks him how
2:11to use it. [music] Instead of sleeping,
2:13Jason spends hours in front of the
2:14mirror trying to open the garage with
2:16the remote, but it only opens the car
2:17trunk. Then he drills holes in the front
2:19door and is shocked to see water drops
2:21moving strangely to cover them. When Ann
2:23comes to check on him, he's made holes
2:25in the wall and floor, too. The result
2:26is always the same. A barrier of water
2:28is stopping him from breaking through,
2:30although air is still coming through the
2:31vents. Jason believes that the cause of
2:33this isn't man-made. He can hear some
2:35weird noises in the chimney, but when he
2:37looks inside, there's nothing. The next
2:39morning it's still raining and the house
2:40continues to be sealed. The family has a
2:42discussion on how they'll proceed from
2:44now on. The kids have plenty of toys,
2:46yet the parents only have old records
2:48and two DVDs, and tells the kids to keep
2:50doing their chores and washing daily.
2:52They'll also start rationing the food so
2:53it'll last around 2 months. They'll have
2:55to be careful with the electricity, gas,
2:57[music] and water since they may not
2:58last long. Cassidy keeps scratching the
3:00door because he wants to relieve
3:02himself,
3:02>> [music]
3:02>> so Jason has to teach him to do it
3:04inside the house. On day four, Jason
3:06tries to make their kids pretend they're
3:08at school, but their hearts aren't into
3:09it. Instead, he decides to teach them
3:11something useful for survival, how to
3:13gut a fish. Since they don't have fish,
3:15they use dolls. The kids have lots of
3:17fun and also learn that Jason used to
3:19have his own boat, but he had to sell it
3:21when they were born. In the afternoon,
3:23Jason and the Richardsons agree to start
3:24a game of board telephone so they can
3:26find out how far this has spread. On day
3:28seven, the lights start to flicker and
3:30saves all the vegetable seeds and
3:32leftovers hoping to start growing
3:33plants. Jason learns from the
3:35Richardsons that five blocks are being
3:37affected and they chat for a while using
3:38the boards. Unfortunately, the
3:40Richardsons have no food left, but Jason
3:42has no way to help them. On day 14, Ruth
3:44keeps making drawings about the storm.
3:46They show weird beings under the rain
3:48and faces on the drops. Suddenly, she
3:50notices a strange shadow down the
3:51street, but gets distracted by the
3:53raindrops moving on the window, even
3:55following the tip of her pencil.
3:56>> [music]
3:56>> When she looks at the street again, the
3:58shadow is gone. As days pass, the family
4:01keeps themselves busy with activities
4:02like dancing, exercising, watching
4:04movies, [music] racing around the house,
4:06playing cards, and reading. Ann's garden
4:08is growing well, and Jason decides to
4:10burn all the debt mail. For holiday
4:12decorations, they use some random
4:14objects to create an improvised tree. On
4:16day 30, [music] Ruth looks out the
4:17window and says the rain walker is back
4:19because she always visits when it rains.
4:21Her brother Graham doesn't believe her,
4:22but when he looks out, he also sees a
4:24shadow on the street. Scared, he claims
4:26it must be just an animal. During
4:28dinner, the kids complain because
4:29they're tired of eating the same thing
4:31every day. Ruth says that she saw a
4:33friendly being outside and believes she
4:34was trying to communicate, but her
4:36parents blame it on her imagination.
4:38When Ruth [music] gets upset, Jason
4:39accidentally snaps. So, Ann tries to
4:41cheer the family up with cookies. Sadly,
4:43they don't taste good because they don't
4:44have sugar. After the kids go to bed,
4:46the parents decide to smoke before
4:48watching the same movie again. However,
4:50Ann is tired of it, so they decide to
4:51lie down by the garden door and look at
4:53the stars instead. To their surprise,
4:55they notice a wolf running in their
4:57garden. The next morning, the family
4:58exchanges Christmas gifts. It's just
5:00stuff they found around the house, but
5:02it allows them to keep the holiday
5:03cheer. When Ruth looks out the window,
5:05she sees Mrs. Richardson collapsing.
5:07Jason immediately takes the kids [music]
5:09away while Ann watches Mr. Richardson
5:11run to his wife's side to discover she's
5:12dead. That afternoon, Jason gives
5:14Cassidy the last of his medicine. In the
5:16middle of the night, Ruth wakes up and
5:18goes to the living room to get her toys,
5:20>> [music]
5:20>> but she doesn't notice running by the
5:21window. Suddenly, she hears a noise and
5:23opens the curtains to see a
5:24blood-stained Susan desperately asking
5:26for help with a knife in her hand. Ruth
5:28screams in fear, and the whole family is
5:29awakened. Susan begins to pound on the
5:32door and windows, still trying to get
5:33in. She keeps repeating that everyone is
5:35dead and tells the family don't let them
5:37see you. She also says that they are
5:39here and no help is coming. Suddenly,
5:41something in the shadows drags a
5:42screaming Susan away, and the family
5:43notices various beings walking down the
5:45street. A bright flash of light then
5:47fills the area, and when it finally
5:48stops, the creatures and Susan are gone.
5:51After closing the curtains, Jason looks
5:53at Ruth's drawings, and the girl swears
5:54the creature she saw seemed nice. Jason
5:57tells her these creatures aren't
5:58friendly, and from now on everyone must
5:59stay away from the windows. That night
6:01they all sleep together. Sometime later,
6:03Jason looks outside and is devastated to
6:05notice that Mr. Richardson has also
6:06died. One house has put up a sign saying
6:09they're out of medicine, and the
6:10one-night stand duo is constantly
6:11fighting. Meanwhile, the kids are
6:13exercising. Graham only runs, but Ruth
6:15hangs from the ceiling to do aerial
6:17silk. Suddenly, the chimney cap falls
6:19down, so Ruth volunteers to climb up and
6:21see if there's a way out. The family
6:23firmly holds the silk as Ruth makes her
6:25way up, and the walls keep cracking
6:26around her.
6:27>> [music]
6:27>> At the top, the pipes don't allow Ruth
6:29to go through, but she can at least
6:30stick her hand out, which means the
6:31chimney isn't sealed. After Ruth safely
6:33returns, the family [music] hears
6:35Cassidy cry, and they realize he's in
6:36pain because his medicine ran out. Ann
6:38takes the kids to watch a movie and
6:40makes the TV really loud so they won't
6:41hear Jason [music] shoot Cassidy in the
6:43garage to put him out of his misery.
6:45Afterward, Ann wants to cremate him in
6:46the chimney, but Jason decides to keep
6:48the body in the freezer in case things
6:49get very bad and they need meat. First,
6:51he chops it all, then he freezes the
6:53actual flesh. All the organs are put in
6:55a bag, and Jason almost throws it in the
6:57trash, but when he sees the wolf in the
6:58garden, he decides to throw the bag out
7:00the chimney. The wolf immediately
7:02approaches it, but before it can eat, it
7:04starts to rain, so it runs away. As
7:06weeks continue to pass, the family
7:07closes all the curtains whenever it
7:09starts raining, and they move away from
7:10the windows. One day, Ruth realizes she
7:12forgot her plant on the windowsill and
7:14rushes to grab it, causing the creature
7:16to pound on the glass. Everyone freezes
7:18in fear while they hear the monster
7:19roar, and thankfully, it walks away.
7:21After 3 months, the light flickering
7:23gets worse, and the family doesn't have
7:24much food left. Ruth begins crying
7:26because she's hungry, and Ann yells at
7:27her as she stops her from getting to the
7:29fridge. Jason tells his wife to let her
7:31see, so Ann moves, and Ruth opens the
7:33fridge, only to discover it's empty. And
7:35then opens the cupboards, which are
7:37empty, [music] too. Ruth slams the
7:38fridge closed and leaves in a huff. All
7:40this stress finally takes its toll on
7:42Ann, who suddenly collapses. Graham runs
7:45to scream in his room while Ruth cries
7:46on her bed. Jason promises they'll
7:48survive, but Ann thinks they'll watch
7:49[music] their kids die. At that moment,
7:51Graham returns with his pet fish, which
7:53he has gutted for consumption. Ruth also
7:55joins them, and they hug each other for
7:56comfort. A noise outside makes Jason
7:58look, and he discovers that the wolf has
8:00finally eaten the dog's organs, which
8:02[music] gives him an idea. He builds a
8:03trap using some random objects like a
8:05skateboard and puts a piece of dog meat
8:07on it before sending it outside through
8:08the chimney. A fox comes by and grabs
8:10the meat, but the trap reacts after it's
8:12gone. Jason does some modifications to
8:14the trap, and the next time it does
8:16manage to catch the fox. However, when
8:17they try to pull it in, the weight
8:19breaks the silk, and the fox runs away.
8:21Next, he uses a car piece to make a
8:22small cage, and this time the bait is
8:24vegetables. A squirrel quickly falls in
8:26it, and its light weight allows the
8:27family to pull it through the chimney.
8:29Now, they have squirrel meat to eat.
8:31Afterward, Jason pulls off the boards
8:32from the living room floor to access the
8:34soil, so they start an indoor garden.
8:36Months continue to pass, and the family
8:38survives thanks to Jason hunting a
8:39variety of small animals like birds and
8:41rabbits. One night, power finally goes
8:43out in the whole neighborhood, so their
8:45evenings are spent in candlelight.
8:47Eventually, 5 years pass.
8:48>> [music]
8:48>> The kids are now teenagers, and all
8:50their neighbors are dead. Graham has
8:51become an expert piano player, the
8:53garden takes over most of the living
8:55room, a purifier cleans the rainwater,
8:57and Jason has improved the traps so they
8:58are automatic. Plants are overgrown all
9:00over the neighborhood, and many wild
9:02animals roam the streets.
9:03>> [music]
9:03>> One day, Ann notices that the house is
9:05falling apart faster. She theorizes that
9:08the barrier keeping them inside is also
9:09keeping the house together, so it may
9:11sink [music] soon. Jason calls the
9:12family to the garage and shows them that
9:14he's fixed his car. Graham says it's a
9:16waste of time, so Jason immediately
9:18scolds him, [music] explaining they need
9:19projects to stay sane and tools to be
9:21ready to go out when the rain finally
9:22stops. After an irritated Graham walks
9:24away, Ann points out that the kids'
9:26attitude is getting worse because they
9:28didn't have a proper childhood. She
9:29tells Jason that he needs to be a father
9:31and not just a fighter. She also admits
9:33she misses her husband. Later, Jason
9:35tells Ruth that she needs to stop
9:36[music] hanging drawings on the attic
9:37window because she'll expose the family
9:39to the monsters. An argument ensues, but
9:41they all shut up when they see a monster
9:43at the door. While the family runs to
9:45hide, water begins coming inside through
9:47the door gap and moves the knob, [music]
9:48opening the door for the first time in
9:50years. The monster enters the house and
9:52begins looking for them, dropping a
9:53creepy spit that immediately
9:54contaminates the water supply. Ann
9:56worries about the plants and wants to
9:58disconnect the sprinkler, but as soon as
9:59she moves the creature hears her and she
10:01has to hide again. Although it gets
10:03pretty close, it doesn't see her and it
10:04keeps moving. Its limbs keep piercing
10:06the floor where Ruth is hiding. Luckily,
10:08they don't reach her. Soon the spit is
10:10killing the garden and some drops fall
10:11on Ruth's face, too. At that moment, a
10:13noise is heard outside and more
10:14creatures appear at the window. The
10:16monster in the house immediately leaves
10:18to follow them. Seeing the door open,
10:20Graham runs as fast as possible, but
10:22Jason stops him because the monsters are
10:23still nearby and the door closes. Then
10:25Ruth touches the drops that fell on her
10:27face and realizes it's not spit, it's
10:29just seawater. Jason notices that it
10:31isn't raining anymore and tries to open
10:33the door, but it's sealed again.
10:34>> [music]
10:34>> Later, Ruth reads a book about sea myths
10:36and concludes these monsters aren't
10:37aliens. They come from the ocean and
10:39this is their world. Jason corrects her
10:41saying this place is her home.
10:43Afterward, the parents confirm that all
10:44the plants are dead and the water is
10:46contaminated. [music]
10:47Jason thinks they can start over, but
10:48Ann wants him to confront reality, so an
10:50argument ensues. At the same time, the
10:52trap catches a ferret and brings it
10:53inside. When Ruth picks it up, [music]
10:55the ferret bites her hand and runs away.
10:58Her parents hear her scream in pain and
10:59rush to her side, worried about a
11:01possible infection. Furious, Jason grabs
11:03the ferret and kills it. In the evening,
11:06Ruth is burning with fever and can't
11:07leave the bed. They give her the last
11:09clean water, but she needs medicine. A
11:11desperate Jason gets in his car and
11:12repeatedly slams it into the garage
11:14door, but it still won't open.
11:16Eventually, the car crashes and Jason
11:17hits his head, so he gets dizzy. The
11:20family hears the noise and rushes to
11:21help him out. Jason can barely walk and
11:23collapses on the floor, only to notice
11:25some cracks. This snaps him out of it
11:27and he grabs a tool to test how deep the
11:29crack is. Then he runs around the house
11:31to test the other cracks, noticing
11:33they're getting deeper. He concludes the
11:34house has been shifting and this could
11:36provide a way out. In the bathroom, he
11:38breaks the floor tiles until he finds a
11:39pipe leading to the sewer system. This
11:41should take them to the Richardson's
11:43house, which should have medicine since
11:44Mr. Richardson was a dentist. Jason
11:46doesn't fit in the pipe, so Ann
11:47volunteers to go with a flashlight and a
11:50camera for the family to guide her and
11:51crosses the sewers until she finds a
11:53wall. Thankfully, it's loose enough for
11:55her to push the bricks and go through.
11:56At that moment, the family loses the
11:58camera signal and Jason goes crazy as he
12:00tries to make the pipe bigger. Graham
12:02runs to the window and calls his dad
12:03when he sees that Ann is safe in the
12:04neighbor's house. Looking around, Ann
12:07finds lots of overgrown plants and Mrs.
12:08Richardson's rotting body. There are
12:10stains on the wall that make it seem
12:12like the house was flooded for years. As
12:14it starts to rain, Ann finds the
12:15medicine and gets ready to leave, only
12:17to discover that the monsters have
12:18returned. Soon the creatures are
12:20entering the house, so Ann carefully
12:22sneaks around to make it to the
12:23basement, which is already flooding.
12:25Suddenly, she's startled by a monstrous
12:26face, but it's actually Mr. Richardson's
12:28body. Her scream gets the creature's
12:30attention, so she has to hurry up. She
12:32swims in the sewer water until she finds
12:34the pipe, but unfortunately, a monster
12:36finds her anyway and immediately fires
12:38the gun at it. However, the bullets do
12:40no damage and the creature disarms her.
12:42The family begins pulling the silk, so
12:43Ann finally gets to escape through the
12:45pipe and the monster is climbing after
12:47her. Jason quickly breaks the wall and
12:49lets the debris block the pipe just in
12:50time. Meanwhile, Ann gives the medicine
12:52to Ruth and she starts feeling better.
12:54Jason wants the family to hide in the
12:56attic while he prepares to distract the
12:57monsters, guessing they'll come soon
12:59since they know they're in there now.
13:00However, Graham says he's tired of
13:02hiding because this isn't living, it's
13:04surviving. Ann agrees, so they decide to
13:06fight the monsters as a family.
13:07>> [music]
13:08>> They work together to prepare a big trap
13:09that hopefully will also help them
13:11escape. Suddenly, a glowing round cloud
13:13appears in the sky and water starts
13:14flooding the house from every possible
13:16spot, like the chimney, the sinks, the
13:18toilet, and the bathroom pipe. Jason is
13:20pushed back by the chimney burst while
13:22Ann pushes Ruth out of the way when a
13:23wave comes down the stairs, dragging
13:25Graham. All this water allows the
13:27monster to get inside and move more
13:28quickly because it can now swim and
13:30waits until the creature jumps out to
13:32attack and throws a bomb at it, setting
13:33it on fire. It dives in again to get rid
13:36of the flames and its tentacles bring
13:37him down. Jason tries to shoot a harpoon
13:39at it, but he misses and the tentacles
13:41shake him around before throwing him
13:42into the water and swims fast to rescue
13:44her husband and they reunite with the
13:46kids on the stairs. The water is rising
13:48too fast, so they need to go to the
13:49attic, but Graham will first retrieve
13:51the harpoon. While the water slips
13:53through the house cracks, Graham dives
13:55in and retrieves the harpoon from the
13:56kitchen. He can hear the monster
13:58approaching, so he hides while holding
13:59his breath. At that moment, the family
14:01makes a hole in the ceiling and pulls
14:02him out before the monster could reach
14:04him. The tentacles break through as well
14:06and Jason hits them with a hammer until
14:07they can all run to the attic. The water
14:09soon floods this room, too, so the
14:11family holds their breath and holds each
14:13other in place. When the monster finally
14:15finds them, they pull a rope connected
14:16to the harpoon before firing it and this
14:18time it gets stuck on the creature. The
14:20other end of the rope is linked to the
14:21car, which is activated by the shot. The
14:23vehicle begins to pull the monster away
14:25and all the pressure is making the water
14:27widen the cracks to absorb it, so the
14:28flood leaves the attic and drags the
14:30family down as well. They immediately
14:32try the front door, but it still won't
14:33open. The creature is stuck on the stair
