The Bastard Love Child Of…The Day After and Lord of The Flies!
A nuclear explosion devastates New York. A random collection of survivors fight their way down into the basement of their apartment building, where they find a makeshift fall-out shelter manned by a paranoid janitor (Biehn). But as food starts to dwindle and personal tensions escalate, it becomes clear the horror is only just beginning…
Grimm’s Eye View: Xavier Gens, director of the harrowingly brutal Frontier(s), returns with the ultimate post-apocalyptic shocker; a bloody and claustrophobic study of social collapse, where humankind is reduced to living increasingly like savage pack animals, locked in a constant battle for domination.
Filmed in sequence, with actors required to remain in character at all times, the film benefits from the real stresses and tensions which began to develop among the cast. The result is one of the darkest, bleakest, most disturbing studies of the feral survival instincts and depraved desires that lurk beneath the thin veneer of civilisation. Prepare to take a glance into the abyss.
