The last 10 years or so has seen a huge influx in post-apocalyptic movies. After an initial glut in the 1980s (thanks to the Mad Max series and its countless cheap knock-offs), the genre faded back for a number of years, but has come back with a vengeance in the 2000s and beyond, maybe because it’s an easier way to shoot a movie on a low budget, maybe because of the popularity of The Walking Dead, or maybe because the political climate has grown more tumultuous and divisive over the last decade, making many of us wonder how we’re going to continue living together as a society. Apocalyptic movies play directly into those fears.

There are two kinds of people still watching The Walking Dead: those who love the gore quotient and believe zombies are the true enemy of the people and those who understand that the undead are merely a catalyst to expose the evil that has always lived within. I’m of the latter group because the drama is always more real when it builds between two very different people trying to survive via diametrically opposed ways than when it’s just the living bashing the skulls of unfeeling hollow shells. So it intrigued me when hearing zombie film What Still Remains called an apocalyptic thriller. The two descriptions are hardly mutually exclusive, but they do both sell vastly different content. Writer/director Josh Mendoza’s world isn’t being consumed. It already has been.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the film's publicity arm. Tagline: "People Become Their Own Kind of Monster." Director/writer: Josh Mendoza Cast: Lulu Antariksa, Colin O'Donoghue, Jeff Kober and Mimi Rogers. What Still Remains is an upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller. Developed by Josh Mendoza (A Killer of Men), this indie tale takes place after a devastating biological event; survivors struggle to survive in a Christian community. As well, this film centrally stars Lulu Antariska ("T@gged"), along with Colin O'Donoghue, Jeff Kober and Mimi Rogers. Antariska plays Anna, a young woman who has just lost her family. What Still Remains focuses on the story. Still, some of the survival situations came across as a bit too fantastical. The film sets itself squarely in the post-apocalyptic film genre. And, it is here that the film shines as characters must make difficult moral choices, in a hostile, new world.

People become their own kind of monster. Spotlight Pictures has released the first trailer for the indie post-apocalyptic thriller titled What Still Remains, from writer/director Josh Mendoza. We've been getting quite a few of these indie post-apocalyptic films recently, and this one already reminds me of all the others. Lulu Antariksa stars a woman struggling to survive in a world long-since destroyed by disease. When a lonely traveler offers her a place in his community, she must decide if the promise of a better life is worth the risk of trusting him. Also stars Liam Hemsworth lookalike Colin O'Donoghue, plus Dohn Norwood, Peter O'Brien, Mimi Rogers, Jeff Kober, Roshon Fegan, Siena Goines, Chris Ellis, and Tobias Jelinek. This unfortunately doesn't look unique or good in any way. But happy to share the trailer anyway. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Josh Mendoza's What Still Remains, direct from YouTube...
