Let me tell you, this turned out to be at least this time, I didn't undeniably need to. Not a word needed to be spoken to convey the very real horror we might all be subjected to.

This film has no high-notes and there are no cheesy Hollywood-lines to comfort you during the viewing, just cold-hard facts and statistic. When the inevitable starts, we follow Ruth in particular, the main character, on her journey, 13 years into the future. We see how she tries to cope, as the remnants of the industrial world and human kind slowly crumble and whither around her.
