Ed needs drug money!!! There are so many things wrong with this movie that it's hard to find something nice to say about it. Don't let the good reviews fool you; they were probably written by family members of the cast. Here are some of the thoughts I had while watching this garbage. Why is it that when the doctor gets shot the bullet hole is through and through yet he's somehow able to pull a bullet out? Who keeps a Geiger counter lying around? At the end of day 1, they act like they've been in that cellar for months, so why is everyone always breathing heavy when they're not doing anything? Edward Furlong pretending to be angry is pretty funny but his acting is terrible. I'm pretty sure the only reason he was cast was for comedic value. He looks completely strung out which he probably is. Why are they smoking around a pregnant woman? Why doesn't the guy trying to break in the cellar announce himself? It's obvious that he could hear them. Then, when he gets shot, it's through his wrist but he's acting like he's about to die. How does the kid die from pneumonia so fast? How did I manage to sit through this entire movie? There's a lot more, but I'm running out of space here so all I'll say is this movie is terrible and don't waste your time.

This maybe 'Dark', 'Gory' and 'Brutal' but for me it just lacked 'Fascinating!' Every part of the story seemed to have been hand picked from a 'Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Film Making'.So it felt really predictable, the acting wasn't great and sets were very standard, low budget CGI (the nuclear clouds)and although he was heavily credited William Bladwin, is not in this movie, repeat NOT in this movie (its a five second sound clip which to be honest may as well have been a voice-a-like).My highlight was the makeup, which was pretty good actually.I love B-movies and low budget but this was areal disappointment. Shame too as I was really looking forward to Edward Furlon's return to the big screen!

The overall story line of this movie was a good idea but the script, acting, and unrealistic events made it almost unbearable to watch.To start with the script contained too much information at the beginning and continued slightly throughout the movie. It wasn't as bad as telling you every action the character was going to do but pretty close.The acting was sub par but that is to be expected when using lower grade actors. The unrealistic events are numerous. From raiding a grocery store and nobody else being there, to groups of people attacking this specific house away from town for no apparent reason and fully knowing that the people within are armed. The attackers make no demands, they are all in zombie like states of mind until someone in the house recognizes them as a friend. One of the characters is shot in the beginning while trying to find shelter in a home and then later removes the bullet from his shoulder even though you see an exit wound.

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
