    (Germany) Hell (2011)

    Caught this post-apoc survival thriller earlier and found it surprisingly good. I really didn't know what to expect from it, but I dug the premise and liked the horror-ish turn it took around the mid-mark.

    The flick is set in the not-too-distant future where temperatures on the earth have risen to an all time high. So much, in fact, that if you're exposed by too much of the sun that you'll be burned, so when traveling during the day people are covered up. The heat has pretty much caused livestock and a lot of plant life to die off, leaving people to resort to drastic means to survive. The story basically revolves around a group of survivors and their struggles to find a safe haven.
    I'd like to add that the film's title means "Bright" in German

    Anyway, like I said, the movie takes a horror-ish turn half way, which I liked, but I would've preferred seeing these people attempt to survive the harsh climate more, as I found that more interesting than what ended up happening. Regardless, I liked it and found the first half refreshing, while the 2nd veers more towards familiar territory, it offers some fairly tense moments. Worth a look if you're into post-apoc survival flicks.

    7/10

    Just caught this, pretty good offering in the post-apocalyptic genre although I too sort of wish they kept with the thriller vibe rather than veering into familiar horror territory. Still a good movie and I think 7/10 is an accurate rating.

    Yeah, I was really diggin' it up until it turned into the standard horror film, but it's still an enjoyable watch.

    Watched it the other night. Not bad. Promising early on, but mostly predictably later. Some Frontiers similiarities with this one, but mostly a lot of parallels with The Road

    I saw this movie a couple of months ago, and although the story is well told and there's no denying it, I found the film to "repetition". I mean, for those who have already seen The Road, for example, this is just repetition.

    The film brings nothing new. The end feeling is that it could have been much better, if only those responsible for it, would have been a bit more risky.

    It's worth seeing if your into apocalyptodrama stuff but nothing new. Borrows from The Road somewhat yet remaining not nearly as bleak.
