"A dirty bomb goes off in Los Angeles, jamming freeways and spreading a toxic cloud." ~ Right At Your Door (2006)



HQ Thoughts: "YES! I actually think this was an effective apocalypse film based in Los Angeles, CA. It follows a man named Brad who is waiting for his wife, Lexi to return from a day of work. While waiting, he starts to hear reports of an attack that resulted in a dirty bomb being detonated and all hell breaks lose.

With a desperate attempt to get downtown to find her, he quickly realizes the town is getting shut down quickly and 'contamination' could result in the authorities taking extreme action.

This film gives more of a reclusive fell as there are only 4 characters in the film that is worth caring about. Brad has to make some life changing choices as he tries to protect the little bit of life he has left. 

Truly an unsettling experience for me, just can't accept the idea of martial law- ever. (EVER!) The ending is definitely NOT what you would expect which made me appreciate this film even more. Good Watch!"

"In the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act. " ~ Battle Royale (2000)





HQ Thoughts: "When I first saw this, my first reaction was "Whoa! That was brutal" This is a story, involving pubescent kids, a fucked government and survival in which, the survival part is set in a way purely for the governments pleasure. 

Everyone is pretty much sent out with a mystery bag and a dog collar that senses movement and plays as a GPS device. If you go too far, boom goes your head. !!! WTF man, these are KIDS! The visual is gritty but they follow each kid with a cool system that keeps you concerned and curious. No names, just gender and number.

OK, well so much for a social experiment, who you thought were your friends, now know your very weakness. Original deaths, dark weird funny moments (if you're a job like myself) and freaky! Good adrenaline inducing flick w/ crazy adolescents."
