Any good apocalyptic movie recommendations?

[starcrapoo]

I feel like coping with some post apocalyptic sci fi film but can't find a good one. I don't like the ones that come up on google. Anyone know of one thats sort of a hidden gem thats really good, yet people dont know much about? As in its sort of indie or foreign. Or relatively new.

If not, I think i'm just gonna watch bladerunner tonight.

There is a low budget BBC production from the 80's called "Threads" about WW3 breaking out and its effects on Britain around some people living in Sheffield. You don't ever get over seeing it.

Threads (a 1984 British film) is a very good movie, I was just about to recommend it but you beat me to it.

As a burgercel, there were times I couldn't really understand them because of their thick heavy British accent.

Here it is on YouTube (for free while it lasts, who knows when it might be taken down).

It was shown once on BBC2 one Sunday evening, it caused a shit storm and the BBC never showed it again. Just about anyone who saw it remembers it. I saw a fairly poor VHS rip on YouTube when I was 22 and it was pretty disturbing. I think it was a response to Nicolas Meyers 1983 "The Day After" in America that while pretty dark doesn't hit as hard as Threads does despite it having a smaller budget.

It's set in Sheffield which is in Yorkshire. The Yorkshire accent is pretty thick so it can be a bit difficult to understand for burgers.

The Road and 28 days later are top bangers that nail the feel of hopelessness near perfectly imo.

Whoever made threads was obsessed with dead babies

Nice! I'm binge watching a lot of them. I just wanna see a really fuckin grim future in visuals.

snowpiercer

What happens when the engine stops?

 

[starcrapoo]

Snowpiercer was good. Because it involved grinding up cockroaches for sources of protein for humanity lol.

But I prefer something more fuckin grim.

The british are experts at this it seems. 28 days later is still a fuckin thriller to this day. I remember watching it in the start of the pandemic around spring of 2020.

But even then I prefer something more grim and darker than 28 days later. Too many of these hollywood movies are fuckin involved with disney fantasy happy endings.

I prefer fuckin grim endings where the ending leaves your jaw dropped because of how the grim prevailed.
