Review of Hell (2011) by Nicolas B — 28 Feb 2015
An interesting take on the post-apocalyptic genre. Instead of nuclear fallout or zombies, our world is in ruin because of an overactive Sun that decided it was time to switch from bake to broil. With water supplies drying up society crumbled as humanity hides from scorching sunlight during the day and moving mostly around dusk and night.
Since there are no mutants or zombies, the main villains in Hell are human. No water means no crops or livestock, which means cannibalism is the trending diet.
The acting was good but none of the characters were too memorable. In spite being a horror movie with cannibals, there is very little if any gore, which might be explained by the strict censorship of violence in Germany regarding films and other media.
The storyline itself is fairly believable, I think it might have even been a topic of worry on Doomsday Preppers. Overall Hell is a decent movie, but far from scary, with a couple moments of suspense.
