Led by the enigmatic, level-headed Alain, a group of seven individuals join together to become fully prepared in the event of a global catastrophe.Īs the group debate about whether it’ll be immigration or climate change that spells the end of times, it’s ironically something far closer to home that triggers this wave of panic and chaos as an accident at the camp sees the group divided and fighting for survival.

The story itself revolves around Antoine, a man who heads up to a remote mountainous training camp for a crash course in survivalism. What begins as a social experiment, diving into the human psyche and asking questions about how prepared we really are when society descends into chaos, instead morphs into a generic, action-packed thriller that ends on a whimper rather than a roar. The Decline is a great example of a film that executes beautifully on its premise before frustratingly throwing it away in the third act.
