Searching for a happy ending to a tale of unimaginable disaster and horror, nine strangers find themselves holed up together in a farmhouse cellar in rural Texas. The United States has hastily become embroiled in World War 3. A young doctor named Hunter survives the nuclear attack and is thrown together by happenstance with a group of wounded and frightened victims, including Elizabeth, a strong-willed confidant to Hunter, Brad - an antagonistic redneck jackass, and Jennifer, a barely coherent young woman suffering from severe post-traumatic stress. Together, they attempt to endure the devastating holocaust as they struggle with claustrophobia and conflicting personalities. In a makeshift shelter, Hunter and his dying companions wait for news from the government while fending off hunger, radiation sickness, and a horde of frightened and dying refugees

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
junktodelete-155-36017 I probably should of rated this movie an 8 instead of a seven but it wasn't an "A" movie ("A" movies start at an 8 rating for me or else they're not "A" movies... ) If you, as well as I, love: B-movies, independent films, low-budget movies, documentaries/docu-dramas and of course the "post-apocalyptic" genre then you will like this movie. It has a reality TV feel to it and is along the lines of the made for TV movie "The Day After" but with a smaller cast and budget etc.I've been watching the "Doomsday Prepper" shows on TV for the past season or so and know much about the survival situation that is to come after the bombs drop, esp now with us letting Iran get nukes and ICBM missiles to deliver them, in the next 5-10 years (as of 7-14-2015) and only a fool or extreme optimist can't see this coming. Well this movie has one leader who sort of knows some of the the things needed to survive at least the initial onslaught...By watching this movie I've learned that I'm not as prepared as I thought I was. I learned various things about not only vulnerabilities to exposure but how essential medical supplies and training are.This movie should be a wake up call for civilians to learn about how to survive large scale disasters. It's more a "warn-a-mentary" than an entertainment pill.
Rob Butcher We stuck it out on Sky Box Office. Depressing acting, writing and a monotonous whirring noise in the background. Even the final action scenes were stilted by continuous freeze-motion captures. This works for NCIS every ten minutes but not in a movie every five seconds for a minute.After twenty minutes, we no longer cared but watched it purely to see if anyone survived - there was little hope of it improving.You never find out what happened to start the holocaust. You never found out how 24 litres of water lasts for a month for nine people. Or how one toilet bucket lasts ... But you cease caring.After growing up with the threat of a nuclear holocaust, we were prepared to watch good acting. But there was none. Hunter was a powerful leader for the first thirty minutes, but after that seemed to lose interest.Very disappointed.
Sriram Maddu It is a kind of film like 'The Road(2009)'; poetic, rich with visuals, emotionally well-balanced and sustains on human emotions rather than mere thrills. It is one of the best post-apocalyptic thrillers of the decade, yet very underrated. This film is a feast for the lovers of quality thrillers.Background score is unique and performances are top-notch. Set and costume design are very authentic. Cinematography is fine. Overall mood created by director Peter Engertis is artistic and beautiful yet fearsome. Quality of the fear fused with human emotions and helplessness is very depressing and dark.
Michael_Takes I loved it! This is a great movie!So the nukes have dropped all over the world. The movie focuses on a group who hide in a basement and try to survive. Until the end there is not much more to it then that.HOWEVER the acting is terrific. C.J. Thomason is incredible! Edward Furlong and Monica Keena are awesome too (for a change). The story and characterization really draws the viewer in and the direction is so claustrophobic and intense that you cant help but be moved by what happens.I am a fan of the apocalyptic film so I really enjoyed it. I give it an 8
