I have seen my share of "group of people stuck together systematically go crazy and their humanity goes to hell". That said, this delivers an especially inhumane entry in the subgenre where men are practically vilified as monsters waiting to happen. Around the halfway mark half of the male semi-protagonists turn into rapists and the two women stuck with them (one of whom initially encourages their sexual appetites) are abused by the protagonists turned antagonists. The rest of the film pretty much revolves around how far these men will devolve and how hard the women are willing to fight. If you enjoy horrors that showcase humans turning on each other and watching their decency and humanity erode, it might be your kind of film, but be warned that it has little else going for it. Not even the odd choice of music or the impressive apocalyptic exterior scenes.
