The Day (2011)
Post apocalyptic sleeper
I am a big fan of post apocalyptic movies and I enjoyed watching The Day
After an unknown post apocalyptic event five people take refuge in an abandoned house
Some parts of the film are left for the audience to figure out, like what caused the fall of civilization and who (or what) the enemy is.
The movie is not without its flaws and easy to pick apart if you try
From what I understand this movie was made for a very low budget and I actually enjoyed it more the second time I watched it.
I particularly enjoyed the ending
Deadland (2009)
Dead in the Water Land
First off I am a big fan of post apocalyptic movies & aside from 80's wasteland movies, I thought I had seen them all. I give it an extra star for the first 5 minutes, with the news reports & the nukes going off. But after that it goes downhill fast, more like it falls off a steep cliff. The whole movie is filmed in the woods & you never see any post apocalyptic cities just woods full of bad actors and and an Asian guy who you can't understand. Let's talk about the plot or lack of, fast forward (not a bad idea) to five years after the blast and the main character is tromping through the woods looking for his lost wife. There are all kinds of paramilitary types, apparently different groups, you have to guess who's who because they don't explain anything, there is also talk of a plague again it's kind of vague. Bottom line is; this movie looks like it was done by a high school drama class. If you want to see a good low budget post apocalyptic film see "The Day" (2011) or Chryslis (2014)
