Nice effects though.

Am I Missing Something?

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Normally I do like this kind of disaster movies but this one is just not good enough to be remembered. It all begins good but at the end there are too many ridiculous scenarios that it was starting to bother me and I wished for the end to come soon. The filming itself is okay. With the lack of colors it actually creates a darker and apocalyptic view. The actors were not that bad either even though there were some that were mediocre. The gory moments were also not that bad. It's just the story that is kind of boring and the end even ridiculous at some point. Plus they should have at least explained why and how the planet became such a bad place to live. That could have made it more interesting.

All things considered it is a Canadian film with a limited budget. So if you take that into consideration it is pretty good. But comparing it to other films it scores a lower score. The story and creating the feel for it was done very well but that is not enough to make it higher than 6/10. the acting was acceptable and the cinematography was above average. Even though it wasn't my favourite film I did like it enough to watch it again. Just for the shear art of the film. Don't get me wrong it is not philosophical or anything but what they were able to do with the little resources they had made it worthwhile. Sometimes when we watch movies we need to judge them for what they are. And like I said already and cant emphasis enough this move is very good for what they had, it just wont be winning any awards any time soon.

A straightforward, low budget action thriller with a post apocalypse setting. The cheapness of this production is hidden by some slick greyed-out photography, which makes the setting look bleak and washed-out, as is the intention. I'm not a huge fan of this predictable washed-out look but it's done to such a degree here that THE DAY appears to be a black and white movie.Otherwise it's business as usual, with a straightforward storyline and some interesting characters to recommend it. There's a certain air of unpredictability to the unfolding events which makes it more than watchable, and the action, when it hits, is well handled. Certainly the cannibalistic bad guys are generic and could have been replaced by vampires or zombies with the same effect, but then the focus isn't on the exterior villains.Instead this is almost a reprise of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with much of the tension coming from within the group. Shawn Ashmore is a solidly reliable prop, as he was in FROZEN, but it's THE LAST EXORCISM's Brianna Barnes who really shines as Nikki, the outsider in the group who has her own hidden secrets. Barnes gives a compelling turn as the unlikeable character who grows on you, before ending up the most interesting thing in the whole thing. There's also a good turn from Dominic Monaghan, much better than he was in I SELL THE DEAD. I think it's fair to say that THE DAY is no classic but it's much more interesting than I expected.

A group of people find themselves in the situation in witch they must fight for their survival. They manage to find an abandoned cabin with food but soon will discover that in fact it's a trap and now they are chased by a group of hungry predators that will do everything to catch them. Now they come up with a plan to stay alive and also discover that one of them is not who they really think it is. Will it be on their side or they must kill the intruder in order to keep theirs lives?Poor special effects, poor story a lot of useless swearing, weak acting and the bad opinions could continue. This movie didn't deserve this rating. 4.0 will be just fair.
