Reel2Reel Films has confirmed the UK digital release of Year 10, Ben Goodger’s dialogue-free post-apocalyptic horror, arriving on 4 August. The announcement follows the film’s well-received debut at FrightFest last summer, where it drew praise for its stark vision of survival in a world overrun by violence and feral predators.

Set a decade after the collapse of civilisation, Year 10 depicts a grim wasteland where silence is vital to survival. Those who remain have formed violent factions, while packs of wild dogs roam the countryside. Against this backdrop, a young man, played by Toby Goodger, witnesses his father’s (Duncan Lacroix) savage murder at the hands of a gang of cannibals. When the killers steal the family’s medical supplies, leaving his gravely ill girlfriend (Hannah Khalique-Brown) at death’s door, he sets out on a relentless mission for revenge and recovery.

Adapted from Goodger’s 2010 short film Coming of Age,...

While it is not stated clearly in the film, it seems a disease might have been the reason behind the apocalypse. The family lived in a small hidden hut; the father and son, Jake, routinely stepped out to fend for themselves. The girl was wounded, and the infection continued to spread. She took pills; likely the medication was from the pre-apocalypse time. The girl was possibly Jake’s sister or his partner or perhaps a random stranger they decided to help; their relationship was not explained in the film. Things got complicated when a tribe found their hiding spot. They were out to kill,...
