It is a rare phenomenon that a gripping, very dark story, should be completely without dialogue. It held me for the entire film and when it abruptly ended, I was left wanting more. Full marks to all involved. you made it seem so real. WELL DONE

I have to say besides the locations and cinematography this movie is lazy and predictable as fuck but it is good if you do want a visual experience and can turn your brain off and forget about there ever being a story
The cinematography in this movie was awesome

All these post apocalypse movies are looking more real now.
By golly, that fighting scene took it to another level, loved how gritty it got! Hopefully the actors were treated with sauna afterwards, looked like it was shot during a cold evening, lol. Good job maintaining the story dark and desperate.

Amazing! Probably the best Post Apocalyptic short film I have seen on youtube, great camera work, good editing and amazing colour grading, the only thing I can think of you could improve are the sound effects in some scenes, they are little fit off sometimes but overall you have made a great piece! Hopefully more to come in the future.

Excellent overall. Loved the lack of dialogue. It makes the story speak for itself. The only critique I have, and it's not simply directed towards this film but the vast majority of movies I see, even big budget ones. Why does every character load their weapon (pull the slide back) just before a fight? Common sense would dictate, in a scenario like that, the weapon would always be ready to go. I have to assume it's done for dramatic effect but, as a lifelong shooter and decades long instructor, it just stands out to me like a flashing neon sign whenever I hear or see it. A small detail to be sure and possibly meaningless to anyone but me but its one of those details many people overlook.
Movies like these need to be more shown the wait times all right now it's afraid that something might happen to the world the way both nations are looking at each other and I wouldn't be surprised

Two thumbs up. Perfect shooting locations, props etc. etc. Well done.
When using a BB gun as a prop for a firearm, be careful not to give the audience a direct shot of the barrel; the small diameter will clearly give it away. Otherwise, great job.

Great job! Have watched quite a few post-Apoc shorts as a homework assignment for my own scriptwriting.....ranks at the top of the 50 i have watched so far....for an improvement suggestion, i doubt the characters would be wearing such clean new appearing outfits.

Lots of bad tactics. Why ttavel with a gun in a hostile environment without already having chambered a round and keeping it the coat pocket instead of the backpack. Where was his water? Why didn't he scavenge clothes off the guy he killed? Like his shoes. He didn't check the guy's pockets.

So cool !!! Really this film it's so fantastic !!!
Does anyone know what type of filter they use on the scenes as I am trying to make a similar style for me school project ?
great location choices!
This, was awesome
I really hope that when the end comes, we will have a little more dignity and compassion and sense of humanity.
So at the ending screen our hero realizes that this guy is actually raided his hideout find his research and thinks theres a colony of survivors up north but then gets killed buy the brown coated pmk gas mask dude our hero kills it and realizes that the guy who died was actually someone with hope thinking theres a colony of survivors up there? damn that hit hard...

Good: photography, editing, locations. Bad: everything is (squeaky) clean, from the typewriter through the clothing (down to the dead guy's snow-white socks?) and the windshields to the can of food (and even the guy himself, after 280-something days on the post-nuclear-holocaust road?) And, he has running electricity 5 years after the war but he leaves it behind? And, he cannot break the glass in the gas station's door? These are major detractors from the film's atmosphere; and the only thing that can sell a no-budget short is authentic atmosphere...
Filming is amazing
