So first problem is it's about a bunch of kids trying to survive a school shooting? Not sure that's a completely conservative theme and still feeds the "guns are bad" narrative to a certain extent.
The next problem is you have to watch this on their website? I don't watch movies on computers. That's why I have a big screen tv. Not on DVD, not on NF then I'll never see it.
Hate to say it, last time we had a "conservative" generation it was because of people growing up watching The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie and the Six Million Dollar Man which presented normal values. Extremism on either said rarely works and tends to be polarizing. Jodie Foster did what was essentially a remake of Death Wish with The Brave One and nobody seems to have noticed even though they substituted a female protagonist and a black guy as the detective.
When you try and advance political agenda with film, the result is usually terrible, like with the Atlas Shrugged trilogy (which the OP mentioned) which even I had a hard time liking and I'm a huge Ayn Rand fan.
Last decent show I remember is "Last Man Standing." While things like Snyder's Dawn of the Dead might make your average person consider their personal defense capability, most people won't let their kids watch that stuff. I probably wouldn't want my school age kids watching something about school shootings, was bad enough when I was growing up and having "Day After" nuclear scenarios in the back of my head while trying to get good grades, talk to girls, etc.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
