Fantastic movie, abrupt ending, really no ending to speak of. It's actually not fair to call it an ending. There really wasn't an ending. I really enjoyed the movie though. This movie is so hard to find! OMG! I got lucky and found it on ebay for $2 shipped b/c I ordered 20 other movies, ha! A bunch of prepper and business movies. Thanks!

Refreshingly bereft of pretense, done in a pleasingly stark and straightforward manner, with no needless fancy special effects and a welcome emphasis on the raw human element over empty flashy spectacle, this resolutely grim and gripping tale of four desperate individuals struggling to stay alive in a bleak, barren, and unforgiving world ravaged by the unsparing heat of the scorching sun whose journey to find water in the mountains only to run afoul of a dangerous backwoods family who have resorted to cannibalism out of basic necessity makes a virtue out of its modest budget by wisely keeping things small scale and intimate throughout. Director Tim Fehlbaum, who also co-wrote the compact and compelling script with Oliver Kahl and Thomas Wobke, relates the engrossing story at an unwavering brisk pace, smartly explores the central themes of trust and loyalty, and does a bang-up sound job of depicting a plausibly harsh'n'hostile environment where savagery and hopelessness reign supreme. The uniformly stellar acting by the capable cast rates as another substantial asset: Hannah Herzsprung delivers an excellent performance as the determined Marie, Stipe Erceg contributes a fine portrayal as resourceful top mechanic Tom, Lars Eidinger registers well as the meek Phillip, Lisa Vacari makes a favorable impression as Marie's cute and appealing younger sister Marie, and Angela Winkler excels as the tough and redoubtable matriarch of the monstrous backwoods clan. Markus Forderer's striking widescreen cinematography provides a spot-on severe bleached-out rendering of the hellishly hot and desolate landscape. Lorenz Dangel's rattling score does the heart-pounding trick. Recommended viewing for fans of this genre.

No matter what the language I do love a post apocalyptic thriller.This has an excellent start, and kept my interest right up to the credits. The backdrop is set very efficiently in the first few minutes of the opening scene, where we meet the main characters.The characters are intriguing (and as it turns out) quite believable.As the title may suggest this particular post apocalyptic world is fairly hazardous (aren't they always) and there is a good degree of tension as the characters try to deal with a hostile environment, and each other.Great acting, no special effects. We aren't treated to a deserted Berlin sequence but the settings in the countryside are simple and professionally handled - you can almost taste the dust.The only two gripes I have with the film is about a quarter of it is shot in darkness which I don't approve of, and I wanted the action to last a bit longer.If you are a fan of post apocalyptic movies then this is a must see

Jeez, Some of the reviews on here are tough. This is a well acted, well shot creepy post-apocalyptic independent film!Is it perfect? What film- or for that matter what work of art- is perfection? It seems that IMDb has become a meeting place for all the review-trolls on the internet. Let's all log on and say how bad everyone's attempts at art are.Do any of these reviewers know the artistry it takes to shoot and cut together a film like HELL? I say kudos to the entire crew and certainly to the cast which were all top notch actors.Did the other reviewers watch the same film I did? This is hands down one of the best films I've seen recently.
