IMDB

Viggo Mortensen stars as a man who is facing the apocalypse and trying to shield his son from danger. There are very few people left in the world and the most of the ones that are left are cannibals.
A very dark and depressing movie about loneliness and survival. The future has never looked so bleak and barren. I would classify this film as a drama, but it also has some strong horror elements. At times it is reminiscent of a zombie film, but played straighter. This is not a movie for everybody, but if you can handle it it's worth watching.

8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
