Wasteland (2013)

Not so much horror, thriller, or a survivalist film....more of a human story about finding lost love.

[6/10 · 31 August 2015]

For a zombie movie, it's worth a watch...However there aren't any huge fights, zombie hoard attacks, etc. None of the zombies particularly fill your mind with fear.... It plays more on an emotional level of trying to hold on to the things that make us human. I was a little bummed that apparently he survives with a razor, canned beans, a potato sack for a shirt, some matches, wine, a terribly cumbersome backpack, water that magically appears in cut up water bottles..(Okay you might get a few drops that way, but let's get real) he also has a gun, a seemingly endless supply of matches and at least 5 candles lit every night, as well as a cabin in the woods with a ham radio......a place we know those supplies just fall into people's laps....And let's go ahead and say it, that cabin wouldn't last up to an attack with a small hatchet....otherwise The main thing was the acting. The main characters are all acted well....the supporting cast need some tips, however they were used mainly in cutaway scenes in reflections of the past, no real need for much of it, and much of it wasn't done....but hey, all in all...worth a watch...some of the personal drama and the love story was well done.

The Last Survivors (2014)

Pretty much sucked

[1/10 · 9 May 2015]

The well wants us to believe that Oregon is out of water....here's a hint go left to the ocean and start desalinating....it's a post apocalyptic movie that revolves around a girl that does everything except eat for 40 days...in which case she would be dead...she is trying to take care of a guy named Dean that you really begin to hate about 15 minutes into the movie....all he does is sleep and complain, when he finally dies I actually yelled hooray!......She eventually finds a means to escape, but does the the stupid thing and opts for revenge. Overall this entire movie sucked, but I will give props to Haley Lu Richardson for actually trying to make this an interesting movie.....she's a good actress, but just got cast in a horrible movie. I mean come on, all they want is water...and one guy eats half a peach 40 days later....it's not a survival movie...it's a joke.
