Edge of Extinction

Really good for a low budget movie. The acting was professional and the screenplay was smart and polished. I am particular about the logic in a movie and this one had little or no plot holes, better than a lot of big budget movies.

Considering the budget for the entire film was half a milkshake & stale bag of chips, the producer, actors, wardrobe, sets....hell the whole team did quite well. Yes it did carry on a little too long in parts, but overall what I liked about it was that it was as close to realistic as you could imagine it to be. Good effort team!

An Indy, Post Apocalyptic yarn that was interesting & had good cinematography reflecting the desolate social & physical landscape where Order has broken down & the prevailing Power determines all outcomes.

Acting was believable & refreshing.

Good storyline, sound was up to scratch & delivered entertainment that saw me watch to the end.

Try it, you might just like it.

At the start, I thought it was another very low budget plinky piano miserable student art project.

As the story developed the film showed great promise and while it did not deliver what it should, it is still worth a watch.

The good things - story, decent enough script (although does has some pretty poor monologues)

The bad things - poor acting, poor dialogue, set dressing far too tidy and did I mention the poor acting?

Give it a go. You might be surprised.

TL:DR Captivating from start to finish. Run time a bit long but totally worth it.

This is more or less a typical post-apocalyptic scenario where some event (in this case nuclear war) causes the collapse of society and tribes, gangs etc. start to form to survive killing, stealing, pillaging. Of course, there are those that also kidnap women and rape them. All this features prominently in the movie. In this film the protagonist is a loner who has managed to do quite well for himself living in relative safety in rural England and is able to horde away a lot of food and supplies. His life is suddenly turned upside down when he violates his own self-imposed rules to help a starving woman, then it all starts to come unraveled. Next we have a lot of brutality, medieval style fights, blood, rape rooms, heads getting bashed in, stabbings armed cannibalistic gangs... a lot of this kind of thing until the conflicts are all resolved. What I liked most about it that it never ever got too bogged down like a lot of movies do. The pacing was good. Just enough backstory. It was sufficiently nerve-wracking, sufficiently violent but not oo much and I liked the main characters. Mostly I like that it was incredibly unique take on post-apocalyptic world but form a very English point of view.
