In this latest climate disaster thriller, most animals have been wiped out by disease and famine is global. The story revolves around one family that has to guard their lives and protect their farm’s food supply. The inevitable marauders provide the conflict. The opening sequence gives us a nice taste of the wily ways they protect their property. Then, there’s a lot of dialogue before things ramp up again. Danielle Deadwyler heads the cast with steely resolve. First time director R.T. Thorne manages to create some dramatic tension, but none of the action is that original or powerful. The big question that was never answered: If civilization is decimated, where do they get the fuel that powers their numerous motorized vehicles? Overall, this is an interesting concept played out with some strong performances, but will still quickly be forgotten.
