Year 10

There is no dialog at all. Apparently people forgot to talk after 10 years. The plot holes and all the things the director missed to many to count. Would be surprised if he got to work again. Very lazily laid out and took short cuts because they had no clue on what they were doing. I would expect something like this to be written by some college kids looking to get into the business with only a $1000 budget. Not sure what else i can write in this review. I have put more thought into the review than the director put into writing this script. The overall concept wasn't bad. Just didn't have enough brain power to put in speaking rolls.

No pun intended - not sure if this sprang from the pandemic. Actually probably many things - and while the (dystopian) future is a quiet place ... it is not like the one you may think of.

People can be mean and crazy ... and there are quite a few examples in this one. Not sure what to think of the ending - or where it ends up. But the road to get there is quite nice - well anything but. Still .. good to watch or interesting ... if you suspend your disbelief and give this some slack ... decent acting and cinematography ... the locations also work like a treat ... just don't (b)eat it.

An interesting idea imagining what life would be like 10 years after the collapse of civilization, but the individual ideas didn't make sense. Anyone who has survived 10 years in this situation would 1. Have better survival skills, and 2. Make WAY better use of any resources.

The decisions made by all of the individuals, "good" and "bad," would not have kept them alive for 1 year, much less 10.

The atmosphere and mood in the movie were both good. It just needed a bit more sensible writing.

Oh, yeah, they'd also still speak. I'm sorry, but unless there was some kind of brain virus, people aren't going to just stop speaking. Superfluous plot gimmick.

Think 1984 "Threads" (YES People would lose their language, Long term PTSD will do that) Also this reminded me of."The Survivalist" 2016, which is excellent if you haven't seen it. Others have said "The Road" and its true it is like that movie a little bit.

I also wondered why they were not hunting dogs, there sure were a lot of dogs for eating The acting in Year 10 is excellent , the production is low tech , and its low budget film making at its finest. Its also well directed.

Give this director $5million and he could really produce.

Its gritty, suspenseful and not cheesy at all I really liked it.

This movie looked like something I would certainly enjoy, even though the poster appears a little trashy and, now that I've seen the film, is rather misleading. We follow a young man and his father as they try to survive after an unknown catastrophic event destroys civilization. While navigating the wilderness, filled with hungry wild dogs and cannibals, they also attempt to keep the young man's girlfriend alive.

The movie definitely reminded me of The Road (2009), and since it completely omits dialogue, films like Azrael (2024) and A Quiet Place (2018) also come to mind. Year 10, however, lacks the production quality and strengths those films had. It keeps everything to a bare minimum and does not offer the viewer a deeper look into this post-apocalyptic world. We never really learn what the catastrophic event was and are simply thrown into this scenario without many answers.

The decision to eliminate dialogue felt unnecessary and didn't add anything meaningful to the story. While it's clear that silence is crucial due to the cannibals and wild dogs, there's no compelling reason for the characters not to speak at all. This choice made it difficult to connect with them, as we know almost nothing about their backgrounds or personalities. Much of the film is simply spent watching the young man try to take on a group of cannibals in silence.

That said, the movie is very well shot and includes a few striking cinematic images of the bleak wasteland they inhabit. I would have loved to see more of this world and get to know the characters better, but likely due to budgetary constraints, the worldbuilding remains underdeveloped.

Overall, it's a decent survival thriller with a few strengths but notable flaws in its story and character decisions. If you enjoy this kind of film, Year 10 is certainly worth a watch, but it's far from remarkable. [5.7/10]
