A sincere effort. Amateurish, exploitive, low-budget and clunky, but everyone involved in the movie gives it their all. Borrows (or rips off depending on one's viewpoint) from every famous post-apocalyptic horror movie made up to that time. Reminds me of the "men's adventure" serial novels (The Survivalist, The Last Ranger) that I read as a teenager in the Eighties. It's interesting to note that at the same this movie was in production George Romero was working on his equally low-budgeted, but far superior "Dawn of the Dead". Watch the two movies back-to-back if you want to see how truly skilled film makers can work with a low budget and semi-professional actors.
Nevertheless, I've always had a fondness for low budget flicks that are made by enthusiastic semipros. Eye rolling and silly, but watchable.
