The Day

If you like the British film Tomorrow, When The War Began you will find The Day interesting for some similarities in it. It featured group of young survivors who tried to escape from group of cannibals (modern people but eat their own kind, not the aborigines-like or mutants). Set in a post-apocalyptic era, five people must stick together to fight for their lives but survival became stiff when one of them discovered to be a member of the predators that hunt them.  

The film was presented in almost black-and-white picture which supposed to hide the goriness in it. It also set the tone of the film as being dark which I find interesting, it somehow warned me that things can get ugly along the way and it did, at least for a while. But it was weakened by some noticeable scenes that were unnecessary and unbearable and there were a lot of them unfortunately. The ending however was satisfying and Ashley Bell really kicked some asses, I think she'll be the next Jennifer Lawrence.

Bell breakout role was the surprised hit found-footage horror movie The Last Exorcism. Accompanied by actors who also starred in numbers of horror and actions movies. Dominic Monaghan was in X-Men Origin:Wolverine; Shannyn Sossamon was a lead in two horror films One Missed Call and Catacombs; Shawn Ashmore starred in X:Men Trilogy, also in The Ruins and Frozen; while Cory Hardict was in alien/action movie Battle Los Angeles. Directed by a new comer Douglas Aarniokoski who's coming up with another horror film next year Nurse 3D. (rating 3/5)
