Review of Testament (1975) by Gordon C — 14 Feb 2009
The early '80s were somewhat peppered with films about nuclear war - I suppose with Reagan in the White House it probably seemed a highly likely scenario. In this version we see a community sufficiently far from ground zero to escape immediate annihilation, only to suffer the more lingering effects of fallout after the fact.
It's a film that concentrates more on the human cost and emotional devastation than on the physical horrors. Powerful stuff.
