American Refugee
A story of a family seeking shelter in a neighbor’s bunker while the American economy is in collapse and the nation under martial law. There they find the danger inside is potentially greater than the danger outside.
Why it matters

- Gripping portrayal of societal breakdown and paranoia amid America’s economic collapse—perfect for fans of pandemic and dystopian horror.
- Tight, confined setting amps up dread without relying on heavy gore or supernatural scares.
- Uneasy family dynamics and moral ambiguity echo classics like *The Thing* and *10 Cloverfield Lane*.
- Practical effects and grounded performances keep the tension raw, even when the plot leans into familiar territory.
