GENESIS

released OUT NOW! 2018 | 15 | DVD/DOWNLOAD

There’s not much original about this post-apocalyptic thriller, right down to its crushingly generic title. Certainly the mid-film twist feels over-familiar, echoing as it does a similar reveal (only done way, way better) in HBO’s Westworld. A slim budget keeps Genesis mostly confined to the underground bunker that mankind has made its home since chemical warfare ravaged the planet, while the characters are as gloomy and forgettable as the glum, airless visuals.
