Editorial Reviews

Review
" A visual stunner...Quentin Tarrantino meets Mad Max. Everything independent filmmakiong should be...daring, sprawling, and unafraid to pull out all the stops." --Scott Bowles, USA Today

Product Description
Visions of who will rule in a post-apocalyptic United States clash wildly between competing bands of survivors. This clever and dark satire is an insightful meditation on the nature of power, corruption, and flesh-eating women. Jane Seymour (Dancing with the Stars, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) sets the stage as Daniel Baldwin (Paparazzi), and Kevin Wheatley (Red Velvet, Dirt) head up a young, sexy cast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly good!, February 20, 2009
My dad gave me this movie to watch and, based on the cover, I thought it was going to be another stupid, National Lampoon sex-comedy. I was very suprised to find that it is very watchable and has an interesting plot. The humor is more character-driven; it isn't all gags. I really liked this movie and would reccomend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true original in an age of copycats, July 1, 2008
This film is refreshingly new and original and crosses all borders of definition... With a plot that is unusual, funny and even intelligently thought-provoking; and a bit of blood and gore and sex thrown into the mix, all set to a killer soundtrack...

Taking a post-apocalyptic angle on politics in the USA, this film is set in the not-so-distant future after a nuclear blast has cleared out most of what we know of our modern America. 20 years after the decimation, survivors emerge from underground bunkers to duke it out over who will rule "New America"... There is a cocky devil ("spawn of Satan" that is) who likes to drink martinis and smoke cigarettes, there are dysfunctional robots, a maniac with a chainsaw, a descendant of Fidel Castro, and a pretty, feisty, man-eating girl... and a hot beach party (where they play one of the best songs in the movie).

The scope of this film reaches far beyond a simple one paragraph synopsis though... it is LOADED with fresh talent-- Kevin Wheatley ("Tex"), Alex Reznik ("Yorick") Paul Whitty ("Quincy"), Lee Coco ("Jackle"), and the subtle but highly impressive Ted Schneider ("Marcellus") all stand out with natural comedic ability-- and the film carries a distinct passion that only comes from the handy-work of independent filmmakers, young ones at that. Can't wait to see what they will do next...

4.0 out of 5 stars Post Apocalyptic American History... with Robots, Satan, and a cute Cannibal girl, May 25, 2009
In 2077, a child by the name of Tex Kennedy is placed into a bunker, by himself, before the nukes hit that wipe about 98% of the world's population. In 2097, Tex Kennedy, a grown man now, emerges from the bunker with a mission. To help with the ruling of New America. With his trusty dysfunctional robots, he begins his search for the prophesized Benjamin Remington, the man that will be King of New America. Together, they will need to get to a radio tower to help unite the lone survivors of America. But the tower just happens to be in a certain part of America called, The Threshold of Hell. For some reason, the people here were protected by the blast. Some would think it might be magic, or maybe even the work of Satan. With the help of some unlikely friends, such as a Cannibal Sue and Javier Castro, they must get to the tower, before Benjamin's crazy brother, the Jackal.

The first time I began to watch this, I stopped probably 10 minutes in. I couldn't stand the coloring, and it just seemed very cheap. Then, thanks to me making myself watch all the movies I own in alphabetical order no matter what, I finally got to see this little gem. I honestly laughed quite a lot. Everyone is pretty funny, but Kevin Wheatley (Tex Kennedy) is very funny with his witty lines. The whole story is great, even though filled with plot holes and goofiness. This is definitely not the best movie ever, but for a B-Movie, that is pretty low budget, it's great. It really is. The characters were funny, and some were almost epic, for a movie like this. Even my friend who I was watching this with, who doesn't care for B movies that much, laughed quite a bit too. He said the movie was `Eh', but he still laughed. Also check out the Outtakes, some funny stuff there to. I liked when Tex and the two robots were running up a sandy hill, and one of the robots trips up the other robot and he hits face first into the sand, making them all trip each other up. I laughed pretty hard at that... hehe.

While the movie is low budget, and the story is pretty crazy, the movie was definitely a fun watch. I was definitely surprised. Just make sure you sit through the first 10 or 15 minutes. Give it some patience. Can't wait for the sequel (that they tease you with at the end)!

P.S. - My friend and I joked about how it looked like 95% of the movie was filmed in the same spot. Well I guess it was. IMDB says that most of it was filmed on the beaches of Pensacola, Florida. Man I miss living next door to Pensacola.
