The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Collapsed (2011)

Starring: John Fantasia
Director: Justin McConnell

Premise:
A family tries to survive in the aftermath when civilized society comes to an end.

My Take:
Not a lot really happens in this movie. Nor what does happen is rarely shown on screen (until the wrap up at the end). It's a minimalist survival movie. And it might have worked better, because there is a decent hook, if I cared about the characters. But they are so generic and make so many stupid decisions that is it hard too get into the story.

Rating: Warning
