After the Flames: An Apocalypse Anthology

This anthology of 7 short apocalypse tales demonstrates what NOT to do when making such movies... even if they are indie films...

Some things are understandable as it's really difficult to develop characters, create engaging stories and have plot twists in 15 minutes or less, but sadly all the stories lack originality in their plots, contain dull characters played by random people with no acting skills, and most importantly all the stories lack the "horror" and "action" elements as it's nonexistent.

The low budget might be another reason of this title's failure as tomato sauce smeared actors passing as zombies, photoshopped outer space backgrounds, and dyed scrap metal plastered to people's heads cannot create the atmosphere to pull the viewers into the stories.

A great collection of apocalyptic tales of several sub-genres, wrapped with campfire tale-type scenario that adds to its charm. If you're looking for gory horror, this is not the film for you. If you're looking for interesting post-apocalyptic tales with above average to great production value and quality filmmaking, this will likely be one of the better indie anthologies you'll find out there right now. Entertaining and fun! Worth your time.

Thought this was a great little Indie film , 7 short different stories held together by an interlinking story , reminded my of the film VHS, definitely worth a watch for fans of zombies and apocalyptic films

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this film but it was truly a great watch. Each new story was so different from the last despite the similar theme, it was like you entered a different world with each character. It's brilliantly colored and the stories flowed together seamlessly. Another plus is how much life the characters bring into the story, which such dark themes it's nice when there are small comedic relief. I highly suggest this film, especially if you enjoy short stories or apocalyptic/dystopian movies.

A light hearted low budget collection of cleverly put together shorts, blended with a easy back story that asked for more. Yes it's low budget but it's an easy watch with some interesting plot twists. Enjoy
