James Rocchi indieWire Hammock may have begun his career making worlds for other directors, but given a chance to create his own here, he not only succeeds but excels. Rated: A- Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Justin Lowe Hollywood Reporter Hammock's carefully composed widescreen shots of the parched landscape contribute to crafting the film's stripped-down, distinctly menacing visual aesthetic and emphasize the isolation of the inhabitants, forced to compete for water and survival. Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A compelling and interesting script that is only elevated further by performance and Seamus Tierney's visuals. Dec 14, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com At times displaying a bit of intrigue with its topical ideas, too much banality and a general lack of tension renders the film as dry as the arid tomb it depicts. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2019 Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) At times, like its cast of characters, The Last Survivors looks a little rough around the edges, but it certainly achieves more than its glossy compatriots. Feb 29, 2016 Full Review Bob Strauss Los Angeles Daily News There's nothing really new on the thematic front here, but production designer-turned-director Tom Hammock does wonders with desert vistas and, along with Richardson, has created a sci-fi heroine as real as the girl next door.

Emilliano S Boring as drought. It has interesting plot but failed to deliver. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow and meandering, The Last Survivors has decent performances and an interesting premise, but it dries up before it reaches its climax.
