Some of the dialogue is corny, and the acting isn't especially good (not terrible, though). Of course the lazy, racist, selfish villain has a funny accent... never identified, but it sounds vaguely European. However, he could be worse, as far as ridiculously evil bad guys go. And the film has a very poetic, almost languid mood to it, and for a low-budget production it's pretty well done. Although bleak, it has a few shocking moments, and the sparing use of them makes them more effective.

The first post nuclear holocaust movie ever made and it's terrific.
