Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

LouAbbott Some audience reviewers gave "The Survivalist" one star; some gave the film 10 stars. I understand the point of both ratings. The film does move like a turtle with four broken legs. At the same time, one can't stop watching. As of 5/14/18, there are 69 reviews of this film on IMDb, so the important points about the film are all ready made. This is the type of film that makes one want to turn it off after the first half-hour, or the film sucks you in.

vosnescis I just don't care about him doing stuff if it doesn't connect much with the plot. The characters were also primitive and unlikable. I'm watching someone cleaning their butt, beating their meat, collecting stuff to put into a tin can for no educational or plot-observable reason, and it's all so dreadfully boring. There are survival videos which show you how to survive, and there are survival movies which give you plots with actual circulation. This has neither and is like watching someone do their laundry. I suggest disregarding this gratuitous movie and finding something else.

mochteam What was the point of showing this guys butt as he washed himself up and then him playing with himself? and I mean these weren't quick scenes they dragged on. Except the last one I turned it off I'm not watching that. This isn't a movie it's a gay porn. I have no idea what this movie was trying to be and never will. If you want to make a movie about "survival" start with an actual plot. I can do without the unnecessary stuff thrown in this garbage.

JohnAU1965 This film has been hailed by some as a cinematic masterpiece. I'm guessing that the reviewers are either related to the cast or fell asleep half-way through this turgid waste of time and dreamt something wonderful.The story itself is bereft of any real background and the viewer is left to their own devices in most instances to work out what's actually going on.Our intrepid hero, played by Martin McCann, has apparently survived in his little shack for seven years after some undisclosed calamity. We find later that he happily hamstrung his own brother to ensure his own survival, so we're dealing with a real champion here.After a few scenes of action man in various stages of undress, along with dragging a nude corpse around within the initial moments of the movie, we're greeted with a rather crass scene of him attempting to masturbate whilst looking at a photo of a fully clothed woman that he found after slaughtering someone earlier.This really sets the tone for the rest of the movie.Enter a mother & daughter, hoping that our hero will give them food or other succour. After a brief discussion about how he's not going to help them, the mother-of-the-year happily pimps her daughter out for a meal. Olwen Fouéré, the mother, plays her role of a shrewd, untrustworthy and heartless bitch to the nth degree.Her daughter is played by Mia Goth, who, whilst attractive in her own way, seems to think that having a vacant, slack-jawed expression whilst getting naked is a key to stardom.Some more gratuitous nudity is given and, at some point within the movie, all three actors have full-frontal scenes. Our buffed hero is obviously meant to display his 'manliness' and his new concubine is the formulaic 'hot chick getting naked' but I'm rather baffled as to Olwen's nude scenes. Watching a late middle-aged, flabby woman float around a pond naked is hardly hardcore porn, but it's use to the storyline is debatable. Perhaps the director wanted to show that he was a equal opportunity director or very much into the empowerment of women?The movie heads rapidly downhill from there with Mia falling pregnant, more scheming by Olwen to kill the Survivalist and, finally, ending with the death of the mother and our hero, the destruction of the 'farm' and Mia's flight from the perpetrators of the destruction.The final scene has her wandering up to a large, wire-fenced encampment. Apparently, this is the sort of place that our survivalist hero & his brother used to raid in an effort to steal supplies. Whilst Mia stands forlornly at the gate, a female guard in a tower asks Mia how far along she has to go. She replies about 6 months and when asked about a name, she replies 'If it's a boy'.The credits roll on that line. Apparently the director couldn't even work out an appropriate final line and thought he'd make to with half a sentence.In closing, the movie is predominantly boring and bleak. I expect some will gush about its 'grittiness' or 'edginess', but then we also live in a world with the Kardashians as stars.
