Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

My daily dose comprises of at least 3 movies of any kind.So u can be sure that I am a movie buff n a kind one at that.I like to keep criticism to myself, as a gesture of encouragement to the small timers.Even though I know ,I got a better chance of meeting Santa then of any movie maker ever reading my take on their movie. But this once,I just cant bear to let it ride.This movie is something you would show in a Nazi concentration camp ,for the sheer purpose of torture.I just wish I could put all the people involved in this movie in a torture chamber n the Geneva convention can take a hike. Like most of the reviewers here I too believe that they had a good concept if not a great one for the movie,,but instead they decided to postmortem it beyond recovery. The couple comes back from a camping trip after an odd six days only to find the world as they knew it has changed for ever due to the gas crises, and put a full stop to any kind of vehicular or other kind of movement and in the process bringing the world to a stand still. It makes u wonder if thats the only way to move around.And also how on earth did the people leave n to where when clearly they didn't have the gas for their wheels to do so.And which place would they go to because the crises has hit the whole of the USA(unless they all decided to trek all the way to Europe). But hello, six days!!. come on they very well had access to d net n radio through their cell phones because they hadn't gone to a no signal zone ,as you can make out that they were hardly a few miles away from the town n civilization.Surely some one, the guys brother or the females dad or just friends would have informed them about something as grave as this. But what really got to me was the constant bickering the two leads go through right from the word go and all the way to the merciful last scene.They argue over every nonsense thing under the sun n then some, which really gets under your skin.And a mannequin would have shown much more passion n better acting then the actors here.All the while I so badly wanted some one to chop them off, piece by piece n in slow mo n in details,whit me laughing all the time in glee through their pain n eventual death. Watch it only if you need motivation for anger.I could go on and on but my frustration is running off. Trash it.

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.

The concept behind this movie was really good, but the script and acting ruined it. This "couple" (who look like they're around 23-24 years old) act like they are 15 year old freshman in highschool -- the constant lame arguing and bickering about crap that has nothing to do with the concept of the movie was even worse then the two actors trying to make it believable.The production was horrid as well -- it looks like this was filmed and produced on a flip camera and using windows movie maker. I like indie flicks, but come on now...invest in a decent camera \ post production editing facility! I also didn't understand some of the scenes...like the guy with the car in the road...what was that all about? There's no gas, so he's going to all of a sudden turn into a kidnapper \ rapist? Seriously? How does that help him get food \ gas? If anything, it will create another kid who needs more food and more gas (lol).And the fight scene between him and the boyfriend was so bad -- I've seen better fight scenes and acting in soap operas.I didn't get the ending either...the boyfriend would rather starve to death than take help from the girlfriend's father -- so he starts shooting innocent people? And why the F--- didn't he use the gun before when the two a*holes broke into their house and stole their food and supplies? It just doesn't make sense.Last but not least -- some sex scenes at least would have given this 3 stars.

Never heard of this film before but the cover looked interesting and description on the back of the DVD box sounded mildly intriguing.A couple have been camping for the last 6 days and upon return to the nearest town, find out there has been a Worldwide Gas (Petrol for UK readers :P ) shortage, which leads to many inconvenient events (looting, no Police presence, food shortages etc).The first 10 minutes sort of set me up for wanting to enjoy the film as the storyline certainly had potential.The next hour and 12 minutes I can never get back and to sum it up this film is Awful!
