In the wake of the end of the world, a family of four desperately tries to survive. Taking to the forest, they soon discover the other survivors may be the least of their worries.

My first question is, do we need another post-apocalyptic movie? For the most part, no. The genre has been done to death and very few actually excel. (The same could be said for zombie films.) Want to see a good post-apocalyptic film? Check out "Dead Weight".

If this film excels at anything, it is stretching a budget. The film could reasonably have been made for a very, very low sum. There are practically no special effects, no big-name actors and all outdoor settings. I suspect the equipment would be the most expensive part, and McConnell probably had some or most of that from previous films.

Where it falls short is dialogue delivery. Some of the lines are bad, but they are compounded by the poor delivery. It just does not seem to come out as very natural. In all fairness, the father and son interact rather well. It is the daughter and especially the mother who fall flat. I am a bit confused why the father has an accent and no one else does, but that is not unheard of.

Should you see this film? Probably not. It is not terrible, but is not really all that great, either. The best part is probably the soundtrack. Watch it to learn how to make low-budget film, if you wish, but as for entertainment -- it provides very little.

Probably going to polarize critics and viewers, since I'm not sure that I have seen a flick with this kind of pacing and structure before. I'll admit now that I've known about this for a while, since I caught the director's last film (a documentary called WORKING CLASS ROCK STAR) a few years ago and check in from time to time.. was curious what he'd do with a narrative.

While the film is far from perfect, it's a good time and enjoyable. The camera-work and score are top notch, the lead is very good, and the rest of the cast does a serviceable job considering the budget. Most of all, I really liked the different take on the end of the world... I'm not so sure I fully understand what "it" was, but I definitely get what "it" does, so by the end it's clear what has happened. By the end, it all makes sense.

I've read a bunch of reviews online, and they seem split. Some really like it, some outright hate it... I'd have to say judge for yourself. It's a good movie if you're open-minded and don't go in expecting THE ROAD or something like that (considering this was made for a fraction of that flick's catering budget). I really liked the atmosphere most of all... some really great tense moments brought up because of it.

Check it out - you probably won't be disappointed.

Seriously, the end of the world, and your first priority is to go and shave your legs???!!!

I read some of these reviews and I wonder if A)These people saw the same movie I just wasted my time with or B) The family and friends of the people who made and starred in this wrote them. This is one of the worst films I've seen in the Apocalyptic genre. Just a terrible, boring, badly shot, badly acted, poorly plotted mess of a movie. The way these people are (and no, I'm not expecting every survivor to be Rick Grimes and company), they shouldn't have survived the first ten minutes of this disaster. They are careless, and constantly do silly and dangerous things. The world is collapsing, they find a dead kid in a car and take the time to care for the body? Who gives a damn. In the apocalyptic world, dead is dead. Move on. The acting was so wooden that it seemed Gepetto carved these people out of a tree. Want to see a good movie? Don't start here.

This is by far the worst movie I've watched in 20 yrs. This movie has ZERO entertainment value. The only thing worse than the acting is the barely there storyline. The dialog was full of unnecessary F*bombs in a desperate attempt to hold the audience's (I use the word audience loosely as I'm sure that no more than 3 people have ever viewed this movie at the same time) attention. I wanted to turn it off after 10 min but fast forwarded through much of it (don't worry, you won't miss anything if you do) to find out what they were running from. I wasted an hour of my life on this piece of crap and would've had more enjoyment out of burning the $3 I used to rent this poor excuse for a movie. I've watched home movies of my grandparents on the beach that had more depth and intrigue than this debacle. Hope I saved someone, anyone, from wasting time watching The Collapsed.

The Collapsed: It's the end of the world as we know it - yet again. Civilisation has fallen, violence, killings for no apparent reason. Buildings burning, bodies in the street, some have apparently committed suicide. A family flees a city, heading into the countryside but encounter more violence. They hear strange noises, like mutterings. This film might well have had some influence on Bird Box but it doesn't have the same attraction. It wends it's way towards a great reveal in an episodic manner, wooden acting and lack lustre direction Written and directed by Justin McConnell. Some interesting ideas and scenes, so it maybe deserves 5/10. On Netflix.

No it's not a Hollywood budget apocalypse film... but I started watching expecting to scan through and turn it off and return to my work in my home office and ended up leaning back and taking it all in. I thought it was great. There was the odd awkward line or scene that i think could have benefited from some visual fx, but with the tiny budget this film had I think they did phenomenal! I think the film was well written and didn't have an overload of dialogue that I have seen in many independent films. Visually the film looks great... shots are nice, I see too many that are way too wide or too tight when they should be wide. The shots captured the emotion and feeling of the scenes effectively. The cast did a great job and Peter was straight Gangster! Lastly I want to see what Justin could do with a multi-million dollar budget... somebody in Tinseltown get on the phone with him!

So, I rarely take the bother to review movies , but after watching this, feel I "owe it one". So, this was nowhere near as bad as I feared! I saw it advertised as a new movie on Netflix. Obviously, targeted at me as they know what I like. Sometimes I come on here and read, out of interest, before seeing the movie. So, it was with great trepidation that I embarked on the viewing! I do see what people are alluding to. But, it really isn't that bad! I know I'm easy to please, but guys, the acting isn't that bad!! Saw stuff on the Horror Channel at weekend that was much worse! The Land that Time Forgot - the one with truly woeful CGI dinosaurs! That was way worse! Then, the one about Ice Twisters! This was Cannes material in comparison!

Well here we go again with another post apoc film to grace DVD. I just watched a German import the other day called Hell which was okay but brought nothing new to the table. The collapsed has to be the slowest film I've seen in years but for some odd reason I had to watch all of it. I guess I was thinking their was a lot more to it than meets the eye but NO it was exactly what I expected. About half way through I knew the ending, talk about Transparent. I believe if I had let my 4year ols son watch it instead of putting him to bed before the credits started, I think he would've figured this one out. The acting was lousy and you can't blame that on the budget. I've seen tons of films on a shoe-string budget have excellent acting....hello Cassandra Kane from Family Demons and I think that budget was under 10grand. This had a lot more to work with and we are dealt some of the worst cards on this side of poker. The sets were good and some tension thats it!!!!!

Take the other negative reviews to heart. I wish I had read them before getting this through Netflix. I watched the first 10 minutes or so and the bad acting was already apparent. Started flipping forward chapter by chapter and then did 4x to 8x speed on the DVD player until my suspicions were confirmed. Even with all that it was a waste of time. Not a quality flick at all like "The Happening". It was a waste of their time and money to make it. Unbelievable...I have to write 4 more lines of text to make this acceptable by the website. Can we possibly waste any MORE time with this movie? OK,one more line; maybe that will do it. Bye end of world movie.

Considering how much they spent on this, I guess you would have to give the crew and cast some credence to their work. Its not overally terrible , not the worst of the low budgets you might see, but not really as good as many others.

It was probably minimal takes as well, shot in a short duration.

Overall, the people posting more then 5 stars on this is just ridiculous, its really poor production by today standards (not even TV quality) it has some poor acting in places. Its plodding, conceptually slow with minimal payoffs.

If reduced down to a hour, it wouldn't be a half bad episode of something akin to Twilight Zone etc.

There isn't much reason to watch this, if you have others on your list, just skip it.

My girlfriend is awesome for clocking bad movies and she gave up on this 5 mins in.. Sooo Whilst on my own I decided to finish it off. I Have a cold and bought some cheap whiskey (Purely for medicinal purposes)

So After swallowing a few shots to clear my sinuses the alcohol numbed the shards of glass score that was entering my ear and it became somewhat watchable. However I was still unable to get past the shoddy acting but had a few giggles at ninja dad taking cover behind trees no thicker than my thigh and the stealthy bunch hollering so much a deaf dog could hear em.

I persevered and in the end realised that I had lost over an hour of my life and I can't tell if it was this movie or the whiskey that has killed so many brain cells.

To be fair it was something to watch and I managed to watch it till the end with a little help from some spirit.. Which would suggest that this is an okay drunk film... but not the best I have seen and certainly not palateble sober.

3 outta 10 just cos It kept me watching but was quite dissapointed in the end Aaaand because whiskey.

I watched this film as it is on Netflix so it must be of a certain standard i thought. Well wrong can you be, in fact I believe this film to be so poor, boring, bland, uneventfull, badly acted etc. That i have just went through the effort of signing up to IMDB in the hope my review deters others from this pile of crap. If I could give it a negative rating i would. I can not believe some of these reviews on here, raving about how great it is, were they watching the same film as me. I beg you do not give your precious time to this film and shame on the people involved in it. It is in my worst film ever list.....

This was one of the most boring movies I have seen in quite a while. Seriousy the acting was terrible, especially the lead actor and his annoying son. Juts endless shots of people running through the woods. Not much of a plot to speak of, and for an end of the world movie, almost no action at all.

The reviews that give this 10 are probably written by friends or crew of the film ,Lots of scenes with people just waking through the woods looking nervous. the twist ending just made me more incredulous and that the people making this movie had to idea of how to tell a story.

Its not even a movie that's so bad that it's good. Just dull and lifeless. I don't care that it was made on a small budget. These are lots of small budget pictures out these that can catch and keep pour attention until the end.

I watched a German synchronisation and have to say, watch it without prejudice and judge for yourself. But if you are into that kind of genre (the world is ending), it is really good. OK, some scenes (like the daughter going off for shaving her legs) are kind of unrealistic, but then, the atmosphere, the tension, I think all of it made the movie well worth watching. Ignore the bad reviews, people admit they did not watch the whole movie so how can they reasonably judge it ? Respect to the director, producer and the actors for having made a good movie with little money. Even the soundtrack at times fits very well. Go watch it, and enjoy.

The script is dreadful, almost like it is written by a 12 year old who got lucky and his parents let him make a movie.
