Review of Hell

Hell (2011)
7/10
Post Apocalyptic Survival Movie without Zombies...!
1 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The sun has become brighter, the earth, hotter and drier. What life remains must hide in shadow and scavenge for survival.

Four travellers, in search for running water in the mountains, run into an ambush, where the younger of two sisters is captured.

This post apocalyptic parable deals with the standard issues of trust, leadership, honour, hope, and of course survival.

Although not populated with the living dead, this film walks in the footsteps of legions of Zombie movies. Where it perhaps stands out is in the credibility of the pretext and unambitious scale of the story.

Very competently cast and directed and resisting the temptation to resort to gore and shock tactics: it reminded me very much of 28 Days Later.
