I love post apocalyptic films, so when I first heard of this, I checked it out. It's not any sort of monster or zombie, or mutant...it's just Humans fine rogue and totally feral. I definitely recommend this one..it needs more recognition because it truly is a fantastic

What a massive lie this movie is. Here is how it bills itself:
"Riveting. Mad Max in the countryside."
Nothing could be further from the truth. The entire movie takes place in a makeshift cabin, supposedly in the Irish countryside, after a massive plague or apocalypse, which is never explained, involving a man, who rapes the daughter of a mother and daughter asking for help, in a way that somehow, in the depraved indifference of the apocalypse, makes it seem all okay. In perfect patriarchal form, when the food supply is decimated by outsiders, the mother asks the daughter to poison the dude. She instead poisons the mother. Later, dude is killed by the initial marauders, who both resemble and behave absolutely nothing like the Road Warrior characters.
So here's what you get: great acting, solid screenplay, decent cinematography, great lighting, competent directing...and an extremely boring and disappointing film without passion or redemption. Again, no problem if they told us this upfront, rather than trying build up an action film that is exactly the opposite. Don't watch or buy this film. Their goal is to dupe you into believing it is 28 days later combined with Fury Road. It was filmed in someone's grandmother's backyard.

SPOILER... Read AFTER you see the movie.I read a few reviews, both good and bad, and was motivated to post because just like The Road, my take away from the movie seemed different from the general sentiment.It was pretty clear to me who the Survivalist was. And it wasn't a male character.Excellent Movie.
