not a big budget on this one. However, the twist ending was interesting but not enough apocolypse in this movie. Worth a watch if there are no big movies coming out on a particular week for those that like drama.

Honestly, this was a well thought out movie. I loved that (for once) in a movie or piece of literature that the woman weren't the evil seductresses. It was a nice spin on an old cliche. I also liked how it showed that if the women in the film had simply believed in themselves (without the validation of a man or society in general) they could have been strong and better leaders.

Kinda' like the "Grind house " movies, inexpensive, some Locals as Cast. Junkyard cars as living quarters/prisons and whore-houses. Still pretty girls in trouble, that's entertainment.
