Viewing Notes

This isn’t a good movie but it definitely scratches that itch of a bad movie that lifts from other bad movies in that long line of ROAD WARRIOR rip-offs. What’s amusing is that this supposed “post-apocalyptic wasteland” is set in the lush mountainous woodlands of British Columbia. So quite the opposite of “wasteland” but whateves. I really don’t understand what’s going on here other than William Smith is the big bad and his army of scavenger mutated soldiers is abducting young woman to keep his decrepit father alive. I think. I don’t really care. There’s some boobs and guns and a rescue mission. Also this is a sequel to EMPIRE OF ASH. Apparently there is no EMPIRE OF ASH 2 (even tho Prime labels it that way). So just 1 and 3. I want to track down the first movie now. I’m sure it’s just as bad or worse but I like this indie driven flicks that ape other bad movies that came before. Some boutique label oughta track down the elements and release both movies on 1 Blu w/some extra features / commentary that explains why there is no second movie in this series.
