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.

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.

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'll give indies a chance, regardless of the score here, hoping to find another gem amongst them.

Defo not this one!

Short zombie tales, pointless, plotless, idiotic characters, ...and *not scary *!

Not even worthy as background noise while multitasking

The film wasn't as polished as it could be, but it wasn't amateurish either. It was a fun watch overall; and didn't lack too much quality either.

Anthologies are always a bit tough, because naturally some stories will be stronger than others. I thought the first two were the weakest, and at first I thought they were sticking too much to a narrow theme. But then they got a lot more interesting.

With some pretty strong stories in there. I thought the kids telling the stories was a nice way to have them presented together. I did see the end coming, but it doesn't come from nowhere there are little clues throughout. Which is fun.
