Review of Hell (2011) by Mark D — 30 Dec 2013

Yet another dark and dreary post "something horrible happened to destroy the world" movie. In this case, it seems the Sun has gone on the fritz, and started baking the Earth. Because of this, there's death and destruction everywhere. And, as usual, people are killing each other for resources.

So all this has happened before the movie begins. We just follow a few of the stragglers trying to make their way through.

The movie does a good job of making you "feel" how hot it is there. These people look downright miserable. There is no happiness to be had. Well, except a slight smirk when someone pops in a CD of that 99 balloons song.

Not a bad movie. It just doesn't really go anywhere in it's 90 minute run time. We do get a slight bit of hope, and I found that fitting for all that came before.
