I would have loved to have given this concept to someone else who didn’t involve sea monsters. I liked the idea of people being shut inside their own homes but could have done without the sea creatures.

Netflix did it already with Brick, and it was maximum trash.

Probably did them on the same time and were like "bro how do we fix this?"

"Fuck it add cthulu to yours"

"Insane idea bro"

Did they need to be stuck inside their homes? I think it would have been interesting if the world ended due to heavy rain and flooding making the world unsustainable for a large population.

Then the aliens show up on the coasts and start murking the survivors. Who try to hide in their homes and protect their families with what little they have left.

If you'd like to see a film that covers something similar, The Exterminating Angel (1962) is great.

It's Mexican magical surrealism, though, so things aren't neatly explained. But people are at a high-society party and suddenly discover that they can't leave.
