Arcadian director Benjamin Brewer, along with writer Mike Nilon, attempt to navigate the tumultuous waters of a post-apocalyptic narrative, showcasing a world decimated by an unspecified catastrophic event.

Among the survivors are Paul and his two young sons, Joseph (Martell) and Thomas (Jenkins), who have found refuge in a fortified farmhouse.
Their days are spent in an uneasy calm, but as the sun sets, a sinister force emerges from the shadows, relentlessly assaulting the family’s sanctuary. When Thomas fails to make it back to the safety of their home before nightfall, Paul has to leave the home and venture into the darkness to rescue him.

History repeats itself in this ingenious but surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi, which takes the premise of Groundhog Day and fashions from it a poignant statement about life and mortality. Refreshingly for the genre, it focuses on a middle-aged woman — a scientist-slash-physicist, even — whose 55th birthday and final breath will occur within the same week. But though there is an element of resistance to the latter, Omni Loop is unusual in that it isn’t simply about breaking the cycle; Bernardo Britto’s film is about facing the inevitable, gently phasing out the genre elements to reach an understated but emotional climax.
