Jennie Punter Globe and Mail What The Collapsed lacks is the jolts that horror fans may prefer in their post-apocalyptic fare. Rated: 2/4 Jun 1, 2011 Full Review Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com The Collapsed manages to corral its literary pretensions well enough that it manages to avoid embarrassing itself. Rated: 45/100 Jun 20, 2012 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto Rated: 2/5 Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies All the movie needs is more cowbell.

Audience Member LOL, this movie sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It must of had a budget of £50 it's very poor Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review david p Not worth watching. Poor story and terrible acting. It's apparently a low or micro budget movie but that can't excuse everything. Someone made the decisions to include completely irrelevant scenes. Some parts are such poor dialogue that they are really distracting and is probably why it can be confusing at times. The music is the icing on the cake, a really terrible, terrible cake. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Post-apocalyptic film about a film being hunted down by a supernatural force. The ending is an interesting twist. There is no zombies. Just a disease, but the diseased will appear as completely healthy. It's nuts. Completely nuts. But it's oh so boring and dragged out, it's not good or interesting till the last 15 minutes. It's the most boring and pointless post-apocalyptic film ever. Nothing happens and it's just endless talking and walking and then people dying with no explanation. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I bought this movie out a bargain bin in a japanese conveyance store, hoping for jsut a crappy b-movie, complete with dumb dialogue bad acting and an indiscernible story. I must say I was blown back. the movie's premise is well thought out. the acting is stiff at the beginning, but the star John Fantasia, does a surprising job carrying the film. I came in expecting a dumb zombie movie or at least a really bad one, but instead I got a pretty decent movie. not an A-lister due to the bleak subject matter but anyone who likes post apocalyptic films, and use of the unreliable narrator, will like this film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Writer/Director Justin McConnell made a pretty respectable post apocalyptic film on a budget of $40,000 dollars. Usually I think of movies like "Right at Your Door" or "Carriers" as low budget, but $40,000 more of an "El Mariachi" type of miracle that such a quality film was made with so little. The story here is actually pretty similar to the Ray Milland directed nuclear war scenario film "Panic in Year Zero!" where he an his family flee into the mountains to escape nuclear fallout. In this film, a family flees into the mountains from an unspecified apocalyptic scenario. Like the Milland film, the main antagonist isn't zombies or leather clad bikers, but rather other people pushed to extremes. Without spoiling too much, I'll say the film has some good unexpected surprised that break from formula and leave the audience with a sense that no one is safe and anything can happen in this world. Not for all tastes and the film is certainly a low budget affair, which will put off some, but it's still quite a riveting film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
