![]() Aside from all of it being extremely grey and dismal and depressing, there are a few heart pounding scenes that show anything from a group of men trying to lure a young boy to them, to father & son discovering a house basement full of starved skinny almost-people who attack them and who obviously have been cannibalized and kept captive to use for food (with limbs missing and cut off). Without explaining why the world had ended at all, father and son are constantly in search of food and shelter for survival. Throughout, you’re faced with humans who act less like humans than animals, who hunt other humans and band together in groups to thieve and murder in their own attempts to survive. in a place where society has completely dismantled and humans have turned to their most animalistic nature, a father travels across the country in hopes of finding a place to survive with his very young son. The whole movie from start to finish is heartbreaking, and the viewer is constantly on edge as a father attempts to survive in a world after the world has ended. ![]()
