Among the ruins, a naive young teenager named Peggy (Jessica Lowndes) gets involved with a drug-stoked biker (Jonathan Tucker) and his friends, against her overprotective mother's protests... (imdb)

The jump editing served no purpose, the dialogue sucked and the post-apocalyptic world seemed really lame and strangely safe full of teen angst. This was a really shitty episode of Masters of Horror, the worst one by far.

Disgustingly bad. Watching some recent Tobe Hooper movies makes you even wonder how they allow him to direct, as he seems to fail even in the most basic things. How this man is the one that made Texas Chainsaw Massacre is unbelievable. This movie is chaotic, terribly edited, exhausting with all those shakes, lights and absurd cuts, boring, unconnected, random, unengaging...

Tobe Hooper deserves so much better than what he's been given, but I'll be patient. He just might shock the world again.

It's like Twilight for post-apocalyptic rejects. All those points are for Englund, who unfortunately could not save the crap from swirling down the pot when I flushed.

Of the handful of Masters of Horrors I saw, this was by far the worst. Goofy, boring and pointless.

Tobe Hooper a "Master of Horror"? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That guy has been getting flamed by horror fans worldwide for 30 years. More to the point, this "movie" is a piece of shit. Not much gore, but you feel like taking a shower after watching it. It's that grim and unpleasant

Robert Englund isn't enough to make the movie interesting. It's a pitty to see Tobe Hooper, who directed Poltergeist, doing this film.

The apocalypse scene, a great premise and Englund cannot save this insufferable mess of an hour. I don't even have a problem with its morality. I have a problem with its vomit-inducing editing and meandering "plot". Oh, and did anyone else notice Billy Corgan did the music? Extra points for that.

Some cool moments, namely Englund and the apocalypse scene, but I'm guessing Tobe Hooper is pretty much a hack by this point. Annoying characters and a story that took too long to go anywhere and succeeded in not scaring me at any point. He should've just done a story about the apocalyptic events instead.

as far as post-apocalyptic movies go these days, this falls ahead of the pack, but just a hair. it's got a great idea, but not enough plot developments to even fill the hour slot without some boring filler stuff, but when it finally gets going it grabs you by the throat and says "hey, i know i've got a stupid plot, but you're going to watch me anyway." oh, and who can deny watching a movie with robert englund?
