1. Hair dye and makeup (eye liner) still available and used to keep blonde "looker" a looker 2. In all of these movies, gasoline does not "foul", for some reason same gasoline gums up all my motors if left for 6-12 months. 3. All dogs and cats die 4. Rotting corpses no longer stink, I have a piece of old chicken in my fridge and the smell is unbearable.

This movie was a mess. There are so many scenes that were absolute nonsense. A car rolls up with 3 guys in it nearly running the lead guy over and his friends had to say "look behind you". 6 guys shooting at one guy and they have to expend 18 rounds before one hits him in the leg. What is the point of a ratings system if they are allowed to put fake ratings? There is no way in the world this is a 5 star movie. Don't waste a minute of your life watching this garbage. The rating is clearly due to IMDb censorship and not accounting or posting negative reviews.

A good apocalyptic that film follows a family trying to survive a post apocalyptic America, trying to keep one step ahead of evil gangs.

I thought this was a good flick. The tension in the world was felt all the time, and the tension at certain times brought you In. The filming was very dark ofcourse (think the road) and the sets were great. Fantastic acting isn't required for a film like this but everyone did their job well for their characters with the lead especially good,

A bit violent at times but it doesn't dwell on it, always keeping a good pace, the world especially was believable and shorter run time was appreciated. If you like this kind of film, watch it.

This is a great little gem of a film with a lot more depth and heart than the usual post apocalyptic fare. I'm a big fan of the genre but I need a decent character driven story and a good dose of tension. Refuge has both of these and is set in a gritty, grey, disturbing world where violent gangs prey upon the weak in their search for food and shelter. The film is relatively short but there are no wasted scenes or dialogue, just lean, tense moments and characters whose objectives seem all too relatable. The last five minutes really ratchet up the nerves. If you liked the raw bleakness of the Survivalist and Here Alone, you'll like this.

This came as a bit of a surprise. Clearly very low budget but actually had a nice post-apocalyptic feel to it and most of the cast did a decent job.

Worth a look for anyone who enjoys the end of the world genre.
