This may be more depressing and devastating film you may ever see. Instead or Morlocks and Giant Ants, the film simply goes for the grim reality of a nuclear war with a cautionary tale.

The Grue provide the usual and expected terrific discussion about this gripping take on humanity's unescapable fate.
