This is an awfully bad but, still good movie. It is the type of movie you must be warned about before watching. I was lucky enough to have watched it the first time with others who had seen it many times before. So, they knew what to expect and it made the experience much more enjoyable. The first clue of how the movie will turn out is in one of the first lines. The narrator opens with explaining about the nuclear war that is in the middle of happening. Then, out of nowhere he says, "They all burned up!" I almost died of laughter. The main premise of this movie is a simple one. The nuclear war blew up too far. Somehow, the people who were in some valley were unaffected by the blast and survived. The plot of the movie is that it seems they will not be affected by the radiation poisoning for a certain amount of time. They only have so many rations to live off of. There are mutants surrounding the house. In addition, Joanna's father thinks the world's population is gone so she and Steve should procreate. What a wacky father, eh? Anyone can tell this movie had a low budget. As the movie continues it looks as if it was shot in someone's backyard. Plus, if you watch the actresses closely you will notice they share the same wardrobe. I think this actually makes the movie worth watching. For the lines seem as if someone picked them randomly out of a hat. Especially, in the scene where Mickey starts to go a wee bit insane, steals the Captain's gun, and shoots at him. While shooting, Mickey starts chanting, "One little, Two little Indians..." I guess he wanted a little pick-me-up. It sure did just that for my company and me. The best parts of this film are the bad ones. So, I conclude this as "A Must See!"
