Year 10

It's a no dialogue movie and ok to watch. Do not expect great or exciting scenes.

Movie shows about survival in the doomed world. Characters are average and with very normal story line. In movie Boy is after his father's killer and his girl's medicine, story revolves around this situation.

Acting: Good Actors: Good Storyline: ok Direction: good

Movie lacks in binding audience, its really an average movie. Nothing wow or amazing. Couple of scenes are good. If you have spare time then watch it and no problem in skipping as well. Depends on your interest about movie genre.

Overall giving 5/10.

This movie looked like something I would certainly enjoy, even though the poster appears a little trashy and, now that I've seen the film, is rather misleading. We follow a young man and his father as they try to survive after an unknown catastrophic event destroys civilization. While navigating the wilderness, filled with hungry wild dogs and cannibals, they also attempt to keep the young man's girlfriend alive.

The movie definitely reminded me of The Road (2009), and since it completely omits dialogue, films like Azrael (2024) and A Quiet Place (2018) also come to mind. Year 10, however, lacks the production quality and strengths those films had. It keeps everything to a bare minimum and does not offer the viewer a deeper look into this post-apocalyptic world. We never really learn what the catastrophic event was and are simply thrown into this scenario without many answers.

The decision to eliminate dialogue felt unnecessary and didn't add anything meaningful to the story. While it's clear that silence is crucial due to the cannibals and wild dogs, there's no compelling reason for the characters not to speak at all. This choice made it difficult to connect with them, as we know almost nothing about their backgrounds or personalities. Much of the film is simply spent watching the young man try to take on a group of cannibals in silence.

That said, the movie is very well shot and includes a few striking cinematic images of the bleak wasteland they inhabit. I would have loved to see more of this world and get to know the characters better, but likely due to budgetary constraints, the worldbuilding remains underdeveloped.

Overall, it's a decent survival thriller with a few strengths but notable flaws in its story and character decisions. If you enjoy this kind of film, Year 10 is certainly worth a watch, but it's far from remarkable. [5.7/10]

Think 1984 "Threads" (YES People would lose their language, Long term PTSD will do that) Also this reminded me of."The Survivalist" 2016, which is excellent if you haven't seen it. Others have said "The Road" and its true it is like that movie a little bit.

I also wondered why they were not hunting dogs, there sure were a lot of dogs for eating The acting in Year 10 is excellent , the production is low tech , and its low budget film making at its finest. Its also well directed.

Give this director $5million and he could really produce.

Its gritty, suspenseful and not cheesy at all I really liked it.

Year 10 is a survival horror movie set in some post apocalyptic Britain of the future.

Written and directed by Ben Goodger. It is in essence a morality tale. One family seeking to look out for each other.

Another family who have succumbed to cannibalism and the survival of the self. At the expense of anyone else.

Jake (Toby Goodger) is the young man who has lost his father to the cannibals. Not before the father placed Luke and the girl somewhere safe but smelly. The girl is injured and needs medication which is now in the hands of the cannibals.

Jake needs to get hold of the medicine. Although it seems he too has been ruthless in the past.

The movie seems to be inspired by films such as The Road, Threads and A Quiet Place. There is not much dialogue which can be problematic. The music does not always compensate.

Despite its low budget. Year 10 might actually have something to say about what is happening in today's polarised society.

The story of this post-apocalyptic thriller is rather one-dimensional: a young guy follows the path of the (cannibalistic!) thugs that killed his father, there's a lot of running and chasing and harsh fighting, before we get to a satisfying closure. But it's nonetheless pretty involving, the pace is for most of the time high, with a fair amount of suspense and action, and you more and more root for the main character, hoping to see him get awarded for all his tireless efforts.

It's obviously a low-budget production: the settings hardly vary, there are just of few actors, and no special effects or CGI (as far as I could see), and there was certainly no need for a dialogues coach, because there aren't any dialogues. I have no idea why not, it impressed me as an arty director's whim, for why would all surviving mankind within 10 years after the apocalypse loose their ability to speak?! But to be honest, after some 20 minutes you get used to it and don't miss it anymore.

The young hero is played by Toby Goodger. Since the director is Ben Goodger, they are probably brothers, or at least family. According to IMDb Ben Goodger made a short movie in 2010, called "Coming of Age", with as synopsis: "A young boy battles with new responsibilities in a brutal post-apocalyptic future". So apparently the premise of this full length feature already originated 15 years ago. And guess who the main actor was in 2010: young Toby Goodger! And I have to say, that the mature Toby Goodger in 2024 looks awesome, he has a great screen presence, and he did an absolutely fine job in his difficult and very physical role.
