The Quiet Earth

(1985)

Johnny's comments:


Haven't done a film from New Zealand in a while, so how 'bout a classic.

The Quiet Earth is a "last man on Earth" film that begins with Zac (Bruno Lawrence) waking up after an apparently long night to a world where everyone has disappeared. At first, he travels the city looking for someone else, then resigns himself that he may be the only person alive. Then Joanne (Alison Routledge) appears and it seems that he will have female company. That is broken up when they find the aggressive Api (Pete Smith). All the while, Zac, an eminent scientist, who has discovered that the project he was working on caused the mass exodus, is trying to work out why they are still alive and what's next for those left.

Haven't seen The Quiet Earth in a while but it still holds together extremely well. Not a lot to the film, but this is a superb film that works without a malevolent force fighting against those left as these films seem to have and is more interested in the intrigue as to why it happen more than how they are going to survive. Well worth a look.
