Haunted by apocalyptic dreams and visions, a man becomes obsessed with building a backyard shelter for his family. The movie is subtle and understated, with quiet dread building as the movie progresses.

Michael Shannon is great showing the desperation of a man who fears he's going insane, yet can't stop his actions.
