The New End

About This Movie

So, 'The New End' is quite a curious piece from 2018. Set in this desolate post-apocalyptic landscape, it really leans into the starkness of survival and the often grim reality of power struggles. The doctor, holed up in that eerie sanatorium, feels like a relic of a past world, and there's a loneliness to his character that's palpable. The tension escalates as the healer and his son arrive, and the dynamics just spiral into chaos, reflecting the law of the jungle that has taken hold. The practical effects have a raw authenticity, adding to the film’s unsettling atmosphere. And the performances—while not from big names—manage to evoke a genuine sense of desperation. It captures an interesting exploration of hope and despair in a world stripped bare.
