THE DAY (2011) Movie Review

Posted on 4:14 PM by Unknown

 

The Day (2011)

Plot:   Iceman teams up with a hobbit and a demon possessed girl to defeat some post apocalypse cannibal psychopaths.  It took a while to get that out of my head before taking in this gloomy violent thriller.

The plot focuses on five survivors of some unexplained end of civilisation event; struggling they find shelter in a deserted farm house and attempt to get some rest & recuperation. 

Unfortunately for them some human flesh hungry fuckers have already claimed the house, rigged some traps and won’t give up their rights to the ramshackled shit hole so easily especially not with the potential buffet inside.  

You look a little swollen I'd get it seen to

Luckily the group have a tough as shit ginger ninja on their team but with dwindling ammo will the group survive till the day?


 Is it good:  Yes, in the end I was won over by this violent, still a hit & miss, low budget effort.  The acting talent was high for the budget involved Adam (Shawn Ashmore) – X man trilogy, The Ruins.  Rick (Dominic Monaghan) - Lord of the rings trilogy, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  Mary (Ashley Bell) - The Last Exorcism.  Henson (Cory Hardrict) Battle: Los Angeles & Nikki (Brianna Barnes) - One Missed Call.  



The gore level is quite high, mostly CGI blood but some pretty extreme face smashing & at least one nasty torture scene.  Not that I’m a sicko but it spiced the film up nicely.  The action too is pretty good, Ashley Bell being the star of the show, for a skinny lass she surely does kick some and look convincing with it.  Intense and brutal taking no prisoners.


Thor III the anorexia years
The look of the post apocalypse world has a convicting The Book Of Eli (2010) feel, gloomy, low contrast blue & gray colouring but obviously without its high budget battered landscapes (not even an overturned Nissan Micra).  
Very serious movie but a couple of funny moments like the inspiring loser’s speech. 


Turdige:  The early part of the film was kind of dull a couple of crappy (nothing happening) flash backs and some mumbling.  Even a bit of Brianna Barnes nakedness couldn’t pick it up. 

Also I swear like a fucker but strangely the way they used fuck as pretty much every word in a sentence (mostly Cory Hardrict) it lost its value and seemed unconvincing dialog.  It made me wanted to side with the cannibals, they seemed more civilised (If you overlooked the flesh chomping).

On that note the bad guys were a bit overlooked.  The leader, Father (Michael Eklund) turned out a default post apocalypse bad dude, a cannibal (understandable a guys gotta eat) & sporting a Mohican (not sure why when society breaks down people turn punk).   

Shit I forgot the milk
Granted he looked mean but the character was underused and the others were pretty faceless, may as well have been zombies.  
The guy I first assumed was the leader with his end of the world preacher psycho kind of look may have been a better choice.


 
Overall:   Not Brilliant but Ashley Bell makes this post apocalypse gloomy cabin in the wood 
cannibal standoff movie, worth 1.5 hours of anyone’s time.
