Year 10

This movie has a great concept but extremely poor concept. The writing is lazy. The characters are typical. The main character is so poor written and portrayed he doesn't make sense. His storyline makes no sense. In this movie, you will be rooting for the killers to please just end it. And the hiding and eating the cookies??? Who wrote that?? R u serious? Was that a space filler?

And it's so predictable. You can almost call out the next situation that's about to happen. And then the "silent thriller" label. Where is the thriller? Where is the horror? Where is the action? Where is the story??? If you find it, let me know.

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]

It's a no dialogue movie and ok to watch. Do not expect great or exciting scenes.

Movie shows about survival in the doomed world. Characters are average and with very normal story line. In movie Boy is after his father's killer and his girl's medicine, story revolves around this situation.

Acting: Good Actors: Good Storyline: ok Direction: good

Movie lacks in binding audience, its really an average movie. Nothing wow or amazing. Couple of scenes are good. If you have spare time then watch it and no problem in skipping as well. Depends on your interest about movie genre.

Overall giving 5/10.

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.

Year 10 is a survival horror movie set in some post apocalyptic Britain of the future.

Written and directed by Ben Goodger. It is in essence a morality tale. One family seeking to look out for each other.

Another family who have succumbed to cannibalism and the survival of the self. At the expense of anyone else.

Jake (Toby Goodger) is the young man who has lost his father to the cannibals. Not before the father placed Luke and the girl somewhere safe but smelly. The girl is injured and needs medication which is now in the hands of the cannibals.

Jake needs to get hold of the medicine. Although it seems he too has been ruthless in the past.

The movie seems to be inspired by films such as The Road, Threads and A Quiet Place. There is not much dialogue which can be problematic. The music does not always compensate.

Despite its low budget. Year 10 might actually have something to say about what is happening in today's polarised society.
