With one viewing, this movie crashes into my Top 10 Worst Films of All Time, and not without good reason. The dialog, if you can pay attention that long, is absolutely the worst from a cast of characters that obviously must not have known what they were getting into. Sadly, there's not one redeeming feature to the film, unless you consider the almost sensible explanation why a mountaintop home ringed on three sides by lead bearing ore cliffs might protect it's inhabitants from the effects of a nuclear war that's destroyed the rest of the world. Updrafts of air from the warm lake nearby carries radiation fallout away from the area, so stunning a concept that it's mentioned at least three times.
Captain John Ramsey (Neil Fletcher) is the self appointed survivalist calling the shots for the entire human race, as he and daughter Joanna (Charla Doherty) reluctantly open their home to a weird mix of guests who come calling in the wake of Armageddon. Among them are a pair of brothers, a lounge dancer and her manager, and a hillbilly neighbor from over the hill. Pretty well thought out, I'd say. It gets genuinely surreal when Jada (Quinn O'Hara) just about gets going with her strip tease act before killjoy Cap steps in.
Oh, and before I forget, there's a mutant in a business suit stalking the woods for food, who's terrified of plain old non toxic rain water. A million years of evolution from one bomb definitely took this guy in the wrong direction. And at what point one might ask, is how a thousand years of evolution brought us right back to fashion of the 1960's.
This is one movie you won't have to waste your time on, IF you heed the advice of other reviewers on this site. Consider us guinea pigs for your eclectic taste in low budget film, this is one that's so bad, it's bad.
