Together they search the output level and to work for level up. When this is found and the mystery almost solved appears around the cave, the woman finds out that she is just as poisoned as all the other mutated humans. Therefore, it goes back into the maze.

Reviews
The film magazine Cinema said, the film was a " directorial bravura mix of arthouse allegory and sci-fi thriller". Jason Anderson called Eden Log as one of the bravest and most sophisticated science-fiction films of the decade. Although the end, does not meet the expectations he aroused by the opening scenes, this narrower not the overall impression or the intoxicating allure of the film.
Chris Eden Log Cabin rated significantly worse on filmcritic.com. While the first 20 minutes would draw the viewer into their spell, but are the challenges that the protagonist would have to provide then, more suited for a video game programmer, for a young film maker. The acting performance of the main character is a simple physical presence, which consists only of mumbling, sighs, race and sometimes a fight with a monster. For Tolbiac nothing ever seems to be at stake. A reduction by one hour would mean Cabin, been "very much gracious ".
