Survivors

About This Movie

So, 'Survivors' is an interesting watch from 1990. It captures this raw, tense atmosphere of survival and teenage struggle. The pacing can be a bit uneven, especially when the boys initially adjust to the island life, but once their teacher breaks down, the tension ramps up significantly. You really get a sense of their fear and helplessness as they transition from students to survivors. The practical effects are minimal but effectively convey the harshness of their situation. The performances are quite solid for a cast of mostly unknowns, giving it a touch of realism. It’s distinctive in how it explores the themes of trust and survival amidst betrayal, which feels pretty relevant even today.
