Jack's Apocalypse

I recently took a chance on this after seeing it on Amazon and I have to say that I'm glad I did.

It's a small, independent film but it didn't feel like it or have that 'tv movie' look. Okay it wasn't full of special effects but it didn't need to be.

What pulled it through was the acting of the lead actor and the likability of his character. A good film, that was well written, was slightly different, had an interesting premise and kept me entertained.

JACK'S APOCALYPSE is a well-made personal story with a great lead performance. If you're more into psychological horror and post-apocalyptic storylines that deal with the how the characters are feeling and dealing with their fate, kind of the The Walking Dead, then this film is for you. The themes and questions it deals with are similar, but they're dealt with deeply and considerately. Also Dave Maldonado is a really great actor that I hope to see more of. If you're looking for a unique take on post-apocalyptic drama, then you should see JACK'S APOCALYPSE.

Definite apocalypse feel but different from anything I've ever seen... great story, good characters! I really loved this movie

Enjoyable post-apocalyptic and tale of redemption merge, with an indie vibe. It's really not a "horror" film, but definitely 2 dramas happening at the same time - an outer apocalypse and an inner apocalypse. Seemed to capture a realistic feel in the struggle with addiction and its destruction on one's life. More cerebral than action for an end of the world flick. Some clever plot devices were refreshing. An enjoyable amount of metaphysics without being preachy. Nice cinematography and some interesting setting with some strong performances, and an enjoyable somewhat open ending that allows the viewers to think for themselves.

...not even the genre I was expecting.

Rather expected a post apocalyptic survival movie and while there is a rather white bread version of this as the setting(ish) this is more of an exploration of addiction.

Zero budget, but decently scripted and well acted.

Special effects were non existent, but not especially needed.

At 1 hour 20 min it moved along well.

Ultimately if you head into this one expecting action or indeed anything other than a drama, you will likely be disappointed. Taken for what it actually is it is a decent flick.

Worth the time spent to watch it but never gonna be a favorite or a classic.
