CGiii Comment
A post-apocalyptic atrocity...in every sense of the word.
Madness, torture, rape, drag and too much head-shaving...all the usual things that happen in a basement after a nuclear war.
The acting is terrible, the writing is terrible...the colorist did a remarkable job.
Gens made a great little short with Fusion Man...either he is out of his depth with a feature or his grasp of the English language is rather slippery - some of the dialogue is downright unacceptable.
Most of the performances are unacceptable!
Two atrocious hours...wasted.

The(ir) Blurb...
After a nuclear attack, seven dwellers of an apartment building seek refuge in a bunker in the basement of the building where the super, Mickey, lives. He rations water and supplies among the group formed by Eva and her boyfriend Sam; young men Bobby and Josh and his brother Adrien; Marilyn and her daughter Wendi; and Delvin. When five invaders break into their shelter wearing protective clothing and breathing apparatuses, they abduct Wendi but the survivors succeed in killing two of the men. Josh wears the only clothing that was not damaged and discovers a strange research center where he finds Wendi contained in some kind of stasis device along with other children apparently collected by the unknown men in suits. He is discovered and ends up shooting at three suited men and flees back to the shelter. Soon the group learns that the invaders have welded their access door from outside and they are trapped inside the bunker.
