Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

callist This movie had quite a lot of problems that resulted in a pretty bad movie overall. It's starts with a rather weak premise ("what if the world suddenly ran out of gas?") and goes downhill from there. As for the premise itself, I hope that people don't actually think this is what would happen - it is pretty far out. Though it would undoubtedly make life a great deal more difficult, there's no reason to think it would be this extreme - and that's ignoring how extremely unlikely it would be for the whole world to run out of gas entirely over the course of a year.The next problem in this movie is logic - as in there is none. Characters behave very illogically all the way through, from the (not unknown before, but still annoying) way that Ford feels the need to look at the person who says his name (for seemingly no reason either) at the beginning, even though he was holding a killer at gun point, to the way they take in a complete stranger even though it's been established that people kill each other for resources ("but she doesn't look like a killer"), to the way the redhead takes down all the cannibals in the finale.Dialogue is also extremely lacking - it just doesn't flow right, it sounds stilted and fake. Characters are cliché in the worst way - and to top it off, the acting is pretty bad as well, making it a pretty much all-round bad movie and definitely not up to par with other alternative "after-apocalypse" movies.If you want to see something similar to this but much better done, go watch "The Day", a 2011 post-apocalyptic movie that also involves fighting for your life against strangers.

lastliberal Normally when I sit down to watch a movie with cannibals, it is one of the video nasties that were banned in Britain in the 80s. Here, we have a new movie, one of The 8 Films To Die For, that features this touchy subject.It is a post-apocalyptic world. We ran out of gas, and we are trying to survive. Things seem nice at a local hospital where a group has managed to survive for a year. Sure, there's some conflict between The Professor (Robert Carradine) and Viper (Michael Kelly), and people are nervous when a new girl (Rachel Miner) appears, but they are trying to make do.Things soon go to hell when Jackal (Michael Madsen) appears with an axe, and blood starts flowing copiously. Soon Darwin (Carradine) is gone, then another. Soon Neon (Miner) comes clean about the Rovers.Soon it is only the women who are left to fend for themselves: Neon, Dakota (Nicole DuPort), Torino (Alexandra Barreto), and Nova (Emily Catherine Young). One's a child, and apparently autistic.Then things get interesting. We meet the creepy cannibals and one is filing points on his teeth.Unfortunately, things do get predictable from here on out. A traitor and a surprise appearance. And things get a little silly at the end.It was nice gore when pointy teeth got his. Unfortunately the modern cannibals roast their humans instead of the video nasty way.

FilmFatale The world goes to hell after the oil supply runs out. A scrappy group of survivors holes up in a Philly hospital to try and rebuild society, but when their security is threatened by a roving band of cannibals, they must fight "tooth and nail" to survive.First off, even though the run-time is listed as 94 minutes, this thing dragged on forever. Second, the performances were pretty bad, almost a sense of time-delay on some of the character reactions to other characters. There are plot twists, but they're easy to spot from a mile away. And when one character paints herself up in tribal warpaint, you know it's gone from bad to worse. I should have known better, since it's one of the 8 Films to Die for. And why are Michael Madsen and Vinnie Jones slumming it here? There are a few decent bloody scenes, so that's why I'm rating it so generously with a three.Overall, the idea of society collapsing in on itself when the oil supply runs out was a pretty interesting conceit. Make that movie instead.

dbborroughs From last years 8 films to die for this is the story of group of people who have survived after society has collapsed on itself when the gas ran out. Not long after rescuing a young girl the survivors who have been living in a hospital find themselves stalked by a group of cannibals. Slow and not very clever end of the world tale that has a couple of nice twists sprinkled through it. (unfortunately the twists would give away details so I can't really discuss them.) Regrettably outside of the twists the film doesn't offer much else. Its too leisurely paced to build terror and the film suffers from chasms of broken internal logic-chief among them why would a group of people live in a place that had no defenses, or even a locked door. Its a mess. Despite having flaws it is watchable, though its probably best watched while doing something else (I'm guessing that you'll probably fall asleep if you watch it straight). 4 out of 10
