Edge of Extinction is a 2017 British science-fiction post-apocalypse horror feature film about a young man who comes into contact with other survivors.
Written and directed by Andrew Gilbert (Infected aka The Dead Inside), the movie stars Luke Hobson, Georgie Smibert, Chris Kaye and Bryn Hodgen.
Plot:
Fifteen years after a global apocalypse, mankind is on the verge of extinction. Civilisation no longer exists, food is scarce and most eke out a living by stealing and killing.
One young man clings onto life in the desolate British countryside, where staying away from others has been key to his survival. But this self-imposed isolation comes to an abrupt end when he crosses paths with another group of survivors and faces an enemy far more savage than any of them could imagine…
Reviews [click links to read more]:
“Nasty, brutish and, well, 141 minutes long, this impressive second feature from the team behind The Dead Inside is a bleakly nihilist, bloodily violent post-apocalyptic tale where no character has any real moral integrity […] a sort of miserabilist British Mad Max.” British Horror Revival
