They are Mad Max War Boys-esque in parts of their aesthetic and it initially is very intriguing especially when first introduced to these savages who brutally murder a lone wonderer. That battle, which takes up the film’s last half-hour sees our three leads plus the house’s owners The Husband (Nicholas Chambers) and The Wife (Susan Lee Burton, Pandamonium, The Haunting of Molly Bannister) take on The Chief and his crew manages to pull out a couple of unexpected turns to end things on.

FILM DESCRIPTION - 15 years after World War III, the nuclear winter is over, but mankind is on the verge of extinction. The allure of the post-apocalyptic world is one that cinema revisits frequently and Andrew Gilbert’s Edge of Extinction dives into this valiantly. As the plot progresses it becomes problematic where we see the introduction of “The Girl” (Georgie Smibert) and “The Man” (Chris Kaye).

Any film that explores a post-apocalyptic Britain is going to have an element of intrigue but this is not the film to deliver on that. Perhaps the exception being Hobson’s “The Boy” where we witness flashbacks from his childhood including a supermarket looting scene which is particularly relevant nowadays. Others, like the constant bickering between The Man and The Boy just get annoying and should have been trimmed. Edge of Extinction, like Anthropocene, sees the world ending not with grand Road Warrior style battles or hordes of zombies.It’s individuals, small groups and gangs fighting the odds and each other for survival.
