  • A group of five survivors armed with shotguns, axes and machetes wander the back roads of a ravaged landscape looking for refuge in THE DAY, a terrifying look into a post-apocalyptic future. As war ravages humanity, destroying civilization and most of life on earth, the survivors realize they must do whatever it takes to stay alive. Lost, starving, and exhausted, they seek shelter in a seemingly safe abandoned farmhouse. However, while searching for food and resources, they unwittingly set off a trap signaling to their ruthless predators laying in wait to begin their deadly attack. With food and ammunition dwindling, the group must make a desperate final stand—over a 24-hour period—battling for their ultimate survival. Full synopsis

Partied with the Cast!! - **SPOILER ALERT!

What made this movie a little surreal is the fact that as soon as the credits in the beginning started to pop on the screen, my friends and I all realized that we had 50% of the cast in the movie...

Must Go!
Awesome!

The Day is not a classic, not by a long shot. But it's not a disaster, either. With movies like this, that counts as a small victory. Read full review

Just good enough to engage audiences, but it falls well short of remarkable, leaving viewers wishing for a dawn that never breaks. Read full review

Ashley Bell stands out as a Heroic Fighter With a Dark Secret. Harbor only the expectations aroused by a production of WWE Studios and don't get too attached to any hobbits. Read full review
