    Empty is the correct title for this movie

    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.

    Oh man, this is bad

    The basic notion is actually a decent-enough premise for a story: a gas crisis leads to a rapid breakdown of society. Fair enough.

    However, the acting is so amateurish and the sets so poor that it really does have all the production values of a mid-range porn flick. To be fair, the female lead seems to have sufficient credibility but literally everyone else is awful.

    The music consists of some 'Deer Hunter'-inspired acoustic guitar plucking and is often accompanied by extended scenes of the countryside. It feels like an advert for a 10-cd, easy-listening pack.

    I thoroughly recommend not bothering with this; it is utterly unrewarding as a film experience.

    Wow.

    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.

    Not too horrible if you take it for what it is...

    This is a tiny film with a tiny budget. I've read that the acting was terrible, but I don't agree. Sadly, I believe this is exactly how 2 spoiled kids in their early 20s would react to a situation like this. Foolish boy who puts on the macho act because he's scared as hell inside. Scared daddy's girl who has no real world experience behaving just as you would expect a scared little daddy's girl to behave. Constant and unending bickering.

    The plot itself is interesting if unbelievable. Lots of mistakes in the filming, and I must admit I fast forwarded through much of the arguing. I did finish the movie. It's a pretty forgettable film, but I don't feel too bad about it.

    I am sure it will get an Oscar! not!

    What is up with the movie world the last few years? rubbish after rubbish, and it only seems to get worse. This film sounded good, but damn with a budget of 10K I should have know better.

    This is worse than a B grader, terrible acting, horrible filming, and what was the director doing? sleeping on the set? stay away from it, it is rubbish.

    It would be great if the fantastic IMDb to let us vote less than 1, as even a 0 is being kind.

    1 out of 10 be warned it is bad! And here is some more text to insure my take on this really bad film gets excepted on the oh so great IMDb.
