My daily dose comprises of at least 3 movies of any kind.So u can be sure that I am a movie buff n a kind one at that.I like to keep criticism to myself, as a gesture of encouragement to the small timers.Even though I know ,I got a better chance of meeting Santa then of any movie maker ever reading my take on their movie. But this once,I just cant bear to let it ride.This movie is something you would show in a Nazi concentration camp ,for the sheer purpose of torture.I just wish I could put all the people involved in this movie in a torture chamber n the Geneva convention can take a hike. Like most of the reviewers here I too believe that they had a good concept if not a great one for the movie,,but instead they decided to postmortem it beyond recovery. The couple comes back from a camping trip after an odd six days only to find the world as they knew it has changed for ever due to the gas crises, and put a full stop to any kind of vehicular or other kind of movement and in the process bringing the world to a stand still. It makes u wonder if thats the only way to move around.And also how on earth did the people leave n to where when clearly they didn't have the gas for their wheels to do so.And which place would they go to because the crises has hit the whole of the USA(unless they all decided to trek all the way to Europe). But hello, six days!!. come on they very well had access to d net n radio through their cell phones because they hadn't gone to a no signal zone ,as you can make out that they were hardly a few miles away from the town n civilization.Surely some one, the guys brother or the females dad or just friends would have informed them about something as grave as this. But what really got to me was the constant bickering the two leads go through right from the word go and all the way to the merciful last scene.They argue over every nonsense thing under the sun n then some, which really gets under your skin.And a mannequin would have shown much more passion n better acting then the actors here.All the while I so badly wanted some one to chop them off, piece by piece n in slow mo n in details,whit me laughing all the time in glee through their pain n eventual death. Watch it only if you need motivation for anger.I could go on and on but my frustration is running off. Trash it.

I see close to 700 movies a year and this by far was the absolute worst piece of garbage out there. There is no story line that makes any sense and the acting is so deplorable that even if their was a story they would lose it.

I don't think a 10k budget should be an excuse for a lack of story or horrible direction. It had actors who must have worked for free and they were overpaid. The constant arguing was comical in that it made you root for both of these central characters to meet a quick and painful demise.

Under no circumstances waste any time watching this. It was laughable at most points based on lack of reason and deplorable acting. I would rather spend one hour and 45 minutes dealing with an ingrown toe nail.

The story is supposed to be about a shortage of gas but it never really has anything to do with the lack of action. I watched till the end in the hope that a twist or some act of a higher power could save this drivel. Not a chance.

It gets one star because the acting wasn't TOO horrible.

Its basically a movie about a couple fighting the entire time. Thats it. Shes crazy annoying because shes not the brightest chick.... he's pessimistic and constantly getting upset. Its like watching a train wreck and you just wish the movie would end so you don't have to listen to them yelling.

I understand that this is an independent film with a small budget, but there is so many plot holes and unmotivated behaviors in this movie that it is so unpleasing to watch. I'm a big inde fan, but only when the acting and directing can compensate for the budget. The ending of this movie is probably the worst I've seen in years. All and all I would say if you're really bored and have run out of all other options give it a go, but this movie is an absolute waste of time and energy. Trust me I hate being hard on an inde film, but this has to be one of the worst films I've seen in the last ten years. AVOID AT ALL COSTS...

As far as the plot holes.. well the idea is that America has depleted its gas supply and we follow one couples journey for survival in these semi-apocalyptic times. Here's where we run into the big problems. There are many alternative energy sources outside of Gas in America, people would be able to get around just fine with Bicycles and a Gas Depletion would be seen months if not years in advance. There would be conservation limits set into effect and certain non gas efficient vehicles would be outlawed. In the film Europe is stated as conserving their gas with the shortage and if this were true than Europe would be helping America out through this depletion. This film takes a great idea and rushes to chaos. There would be months and months of back story that should have been somehow included into this story that were left out. There is really to many plot holes to write here. The ending was the most ridiculous I've seen in years. If you can manage to sit through the horrid performance and unbelievable story all the way to the end you will know exactly what I'm talking about. If you want something that is an Inde Flick that is similar to this but is executed properly I might suggest, "Monsters" "Carriers" or even "Stakeland" these are all amazing inde Flicks that this movie can't even come close to competing with.

I was attracted to this movie because as a 'horror' with an unusual villain (a global gas crisis) it had potential to be different. In the first few minutes I was thinking that we might see townsfolk interacting to deal with crisis, creative approaches, some evildoers and some that rise above, but no. What we get is a young couple whining at each other and dealing with only the most superficial problems that might result from an energy crisis.

The script and production is tremendously lame. How is she camping for 6 days in white style boots? How is the gas station closed for days in a snow storm clean plowed, and where on earth did all of the tire tracks come from? Why is there no evidence of power failure until days later? I can imagine how Google could survive the crisis but all the cell towers working?

IMDb estimates that this cost $10,000 to make. Maybe, since the actors were probably not paid and the sets consist of a walk through the woods, a small town early Sunday morning, and a couple of rental cabins. Where they should have spent the money is on a script that doesn't feel fake, and that contains some dialog that doesn't make you wonder why the two characters didn't kill each other long ago.
