There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Uhh, what a crapfest of a movie. OK, it had some positive thinks like the black and white filter they used gave the movie a nice apocalyptic mood and it had that guy from Lost (for short while). I generally like post apocalyptic zombie movies but this one is quite poor and has nothing new to give to the staled genre. If this type of movie has non- existing and generic plot, irrelevant actors and bad guys that are lame as hell I can't help but giving this film low score.It's OK in a sense not telling the audience are we dealing with zombies, vampires, mentally crazy or what but in this movie it was kind of ridiculous. Apparently "they" wiped the mankind but that's all you get from them. Just give us a background story please. Any kind of short intro would have helped but no. We get to know absolutely nothing about the situation. What about the baddies that pest our good ol' heroes then. The "bad guys" have some sort of tattoos in their arses that made them belong to specific "clan" and those clan people just need to other people for fun and for nourishment. That's reason enough for a film, huh? But the bad people were no zombies or cannibals. They have kids who they love and care, they can plan attack strategies, they talk like normal people etc. But apparently they are dumb as boots not using any weapons when attacking to the house full of people with firearms. They just run there bare handed to get themselves brutally killed. And oh boy they are easily killed and pose little or no threat to our heroes. Not so exciting is it?And our small group of ragged heroes (Sorry, no plot description here because there wasn't any)? That tough renegade lady was almost cute when she had that sour and "tough" face throughout the movie. She's so tough she even cuts a head off from a cute little girl. A real miss Rambo for sure who can kill men double the size with ease using just knives, axes and similar medieval weaponry. She could take beating like no other and still come out barely having a scratch and in full strength. And in the end, I think she wasn't supposed to be superhuman. A tip for scriptwriters: If you want to make viewers get immersed to the situation, be afraid, and root for the so called good guys, don't make them superhuman OK. The others weren't much more likable either. Token black guy who is clearly ill but at some point the writers forgot about it and he becomes a real killing machine again with full strength. Perhaps the most likable character and actor who can act a bit dies stupidly at the very early stage. Yeah, that guy from Lost is the only actor worth mentioning. Rest of them are just some random bozos found from the street.Oh well. A positive thing is that the movie is quite short. That is a good thing because I couldn't have bear it any longer.

Fun, engaging. 'nuf said. The villain is amazingly sophisticated and debonair for a cannibal, which is a nice switch. The women are hot warriors. Instead of the usually zombies, they had the countryside overrun with more believable cannibals. An unnamed catastrophe has wiped out all life except humans. No plants, no animals, nothing to eat. The head bad guy sums the situation up nicely: "We're all dying. You're just going faster." These bad guys don't shuffle. The water runs deep.I enjoyed this so much, I'm writing this review before the movie's over. This is a parallel plot to The Road. Each scene raises the bar. Almost biblical in its message.

I really enjoyed this film. It's bleak look. The weary survivors, lacking food and much ammo taking shelter out of the rain. It reminded me of Night Of The Living Dead, but this time not mindless wandering corpses banging on doors and windows, but a thinking 'enemy' determined to get into the building. The action was very good and well filmed. End of the world type films should all have the look of this film, as with the other film The Road, as the very locations, characters and feeling of real survival, lets us know that life after an apocalyptic event is far from pretty and living is only managed by the strongest and/or smartest survivors/groups. I'm just so glad it wasn't another zombie film !

"The Day" started off well with a very atmospheric opening scene. It had an authentic feel to it with the tattered, annotated map and strategy talks among the group members. "The Day" continued on in fine fashion with good character development and revelations of some of the group members' back stories.The something went off the rails. I can't quite pinpoint where. The whole third act, I guess. Maybe just the last half of it. My point is that the movie was doing just fine until it came to a very weak ending that seemed to make no sense as to why it happened that way. I backed up the ending several times and was left asking, "what the hell?" A couple of the cast have familiar faces to movie watchers, but most were fresh faces that added to the realistic feel of the movie. It was hard to sympathize with any of the cast, but those are the characters and not the actors.Actors and atmosphere are the strengths of "The Day," while a weak ending is the weakness.
