The Last Days (2013)
6/10
Agoraphobic in Barcelona
12 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
A low-budget, post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie about an epidemic of agoraphobia? Alarm bells were ringing loudly when I started watching this. And yet, it's better than it had any right to be: if you can get past the preposterous - and too-obviously symbolic - premise, it's a interesting effort.

Performances are fine. I was familiar with none of the actors - except for absurdly cute Leticia Dolera, who has a minor role - and their turns here are powerful. Direction by the Pastor brothers, while occasionally overwrought - there are more Dolly zooms in this movie than in Peter Jackson's whole filmography - is competent and features some remarkable sequences and chilling moments.

6,5/10
