javier1976

This was a very pleasant surprise. It´s a great creature feature about a guy that sets out on his own across a post apocalyptic California (I think it was California -though actually shot in Australia-) to get to his girlfriend. All actors (all but one -Michael Rooker- unknowns to me) do a good job. The special effects, while nothing to write home about, are perfectly fine, the creature design is pretty cool and the dog is adorable. I have probably overrated this a bit, but it´s been a long time since I enjoyed a movie so thoroughly that I ended up with a smile on my face.

This is not much of a horror movie, there is no sex, nudity, profanity (I´m not even sure if they say "sh@t" once), gore, suspense or even jump scares (not even ineffective ones). Techincally speaking it´s OK, the performances and camera work are perfectly adequate and the (few) effects are OK too, though nothing to write home about. It´s not scary or gory or funny, but it´s not boring or overlong, just something to pass the time and not much more than that. I guess that it might be OK for pre-teens but it´s not the greatest film to introduce kids to horror, if you can call it that (I read another review where they considered more of a fairy tale, and I kind of tend to agree).
