. No Blades of Grass, 1970. Worldwide ecological collapse sends an instantly murderous family to seek shelter in the British countryside. Clumsy and antiquated, tight editing keeps it watchable. Despite the title and poster’s claim, many blades of grass are featured. 3/5 ☢️

. 12 Monkeys, 1995. A haunting time-kerfuffle narrative imparts visions of a
#postapocalyptic
world reclaimed by nature while mankind has retreated into a subterranean
#steampunk
nightmare. Thrilling performances. Influential score. Mind bending

. The Day the Earth Caught Fire, 1961. A fast talking, literate,
#apocalyptic
drama starring an alcoholic newsman fighting his own parallel downward spiral. While dry in places (NPI), disaster effects, models and matte paintings effectively strike a compelling chord. 3/5 ☢️

. Dead End Drive-In, 1986. It’s an explosion of color and
#newwave
anarchistic energy as two teens fight to escape a
#dystopian
drive-in. An uneventful 2nd act is balanced by cheeky humor, social commentary, and explosive stunt driving by

, The Earth Dies Screaming, 1964. A
#TwilightZone
episode where the twist is that you’ve actually been watching a less camp version of
#Plan9fromOuterSpace
the entire time. Stock characters, stiff dialog, and alien costumes that would make

blush.

. Cargo, 2017. Trading standard zombie schlock for developed characters and trope busting invention, not even a frequently upset baby dampens a moment. A career highpoint,
#MartintFreeman
delivers more in this one than all three Hobbitsess combined.

. Def-Con 4, 1985. The most egregious bait-and-switch posters of the genre (where’s my skeleton spaceman!?). Dreary, slow, and mean spirited; perfectly capturing the existential dread of the 80s. Every

. The Road, 2009. A darkly profound and emotionally rigorous examination of humanity and hope. Also evidence that every other

500 follower milestone - and I have it on good authority only half have muted me! Big thanks to all of my fellow genre hounds for hanging out. Moving forward as the field narrows, I’d love recommendation help. Take peek at my first 100, as I may have already reviewed it. Cheers!

Finished the
#Fallout
series last night - excited for more (definitely gonna be a second season). Nailed the tone, design and spirit while deftly avoiding the many blind alleys that could’ve been pursued (liar revealed etc). I dug it. What say you fellow wastelanders?

, Le Dernier Combat, 1983. With more words in its title than spoken in the entirety of the film, it’s hardly worth mentioning its Frenchness. A

tale of a man pitted against his own isolation as much as any external force. A great debut for

. Children of Men, 2006. A frighteningly prescient feeling depiction of the collapse of society. Masterfully directed and performed. Worth a watch if only for some of the most thrilling and technically impressive one-take scenes ever filmed.
