Aftermath
Searching for a happy ending to a tale of unimaginable disaster and horror, nine strangers find themselves holed up together in a farmhouse cellar in rural Texas. The United States has hastily become embroiled in World War 3. A young doctor named Hunter survives the nuclear attack and is thrown together by happenstance with a group of wounded and frightened victims, including Elizabeth, a strong-willed confidant to Hunter, Brad - an antagonistic redneck jackass, and Jennifer, a barely coherent young woman suffering from severe post-traumatic stress. Together, they attempt to endure the devastating holocaust as they struggle with claustrophobia and conflicting personalities. In a makeshift shelter, Hunter and his dying companions wait for news from the government while fending off hunger, radiation sickness, and a horde of frightened and dying refugees

Boring
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Apocalypse movies are meant to have explosions, huge special effects and people fleeing from one place to the next to survive!!!....well if you are looking for that sort of apocalyptic survival movie you have stumbled to the wrong place. Ultimately the movie stars 9 peps in a cellar for one and half hours...which is quite realistic I suppose but realism is kinda boring hence the point of watch a movie to "escape from reality" Kudos to the make up team - the actors and actresses did look like they were slow succumbing to the effects of radiation. However the acting at times was just strange, especially when they are fighting off people - they seem to go all Rambo then at other times they seem quite timid. So if you want to watch a movie and have all hope washed away then sit back and enjoy the micro-scale fall of humanity.
I probably should of rated this movie an 8 instead of a seven but it wasn't an "A" movie ("A" movies start at an 8 rating for me or else they're not "A" movies... ) If you, as well as I, love: B-movies, independent films, low-budget movies, documentaries/docu-dramas and of course the "post-apocalyptic" genre then you will like this movie. It has a reality TV feel to it and is along the lines of the made for TV movie "The Day After" but with a smaller cast and budget etc.I've been watching the "Doomsday Prepper" shows on TV for the past season or so and know much about the survival situation that is to come after the bombs drop, esp now with us letting Iran get nukes and ICBM missiles to deliver them, in the next 5-10 years (as of 7-14-2015) and only a fool or extreme optimist can't see this coming. Well this movie has one leader who sort of knows some of the the things needed to survive at least the initial onslaught...By watching this movie I've learned that I'm not as prepared as I thought I was. I learned various things about not only vulnerabilities to exposure but how essential medical supplies and training are.This movie should be a wake up call for civilians to learn about how to survive large scale disasters. It's more a "warn-a-mentary" than an entertainment pill.
It is a kind of film like 'The Road(2009)'; poetic, rich with visuals, emotionally well-balanced and sustains on human emotions rather than mere thrills. It is one of the best post-apocalyptic thrillers of the decade, yet very underrated. This film is a feast for the lovers of quality thrillers.Background score is unique and performances are top-notch. Set and costume design are very authentic. Cinematography is fine. Overall mood created by director Peter Engertis is artistic and beautiful yet fearsome. Quality of the fear fused with human emotions and helplessness is very depressing and dark.
It seems like whenever Edward Furlong needs to pay child support, we end up with about three of these stinkers per year. Is it really all that bad? Pretty much.'Aftermath' is about a group of strangers (original) locked up together inside of a basement during a nuclear apocalypse. It's supposed to be a realistic view on how we would act during such a tragic event. Why this needs a 90 minute runtime is beyond me, because the character development still ends up being awful, even though the entire film is based around that factor. When the action finally does set it, it ends up being entirely unnecessary. Why not just end the film the way you began it? Did we really need a group of zombie hillbillies that have no clue what the hell they're doing? The film wouldn't have been any worse.Random Ramblings Of A Madman: Looking at Monica Keena for 92 minutes will never be thought of as a negative, and she makes the time fly by, but your film's success should never be based around that factor alone. As for Eddie Furlong - Those 'T2' paychecks no longer cover life's responsibilities, so unless his local dealer decides to have a clearance sale, we should be seeing more Furlong 'greats' in the near future.
