Yes...here is a holiday movie to cheer you up, or else get you in the spirit of the season! This movie is about starving people trudging across a desolate landscape trying to avoid cannibals...that could be a nice set up for some action, but believe me, it's not. The film involves very little action. For the most part it's grim, dark, dreary, and depressing. It trudges along at the same pace as the starving, freezing, desperate characters, which is, as you might expect, not too fast.
Okay...so it's grim dark, dreary and depressing, you say...could be fascinating just the same! No, it's not...there's no explanation as to why the landscape is so desolate. I guess one night everything just died. Or caught on fire. Or something. Nobody can explain. But apparently there's only a couple thousand people in the country that have survived. They seem to have eaten all the food in a matter of months. Anyway, I can't say it enough...it's grim, dark, dreary and depressing. And boring. And slow.
