This little indie is a loving and very knowing stab at recreating post-apocalyptic 80s video fodder. It treads a very fine line between being deliberately awful (imagine Mad Max on BMX bikes) and simply cheap and bad, wavering dangerously between the two in the first half in particular, but there are nods aplenty to genre favourites that raise a smile. How forgiving the viewer will be depends on their affection and knowledge of the genre and time period, but nevertheless there is fun to be had from the deliciously squelchy and mostly physical gore effects (reminiscent of the early Peter Jackson movies), a superbly on-the-money synth soundtrack and Michael Ironside simply doing what he does best.
