The Quiet Earth
Directed by Geoff Murphy
Zac Hobson (Bruno Lawrence, As Time Goes By), a scientist working on a pioneering energy project, wakes up one morning to find that the technology has malfunctioned, leaving him as seemingly the only man left on earth. As Zac wanders the deserted city of Hamilton, New Zealand, hoping to find some remnant of life besides himself, his mind begins to disintegrate until fantasy and reality blur together in a heady, terrifying cocktail.
A scientist is seemingly the only man left on earth in this eerie, essential vision of the post-apocalypse.
Cast: Bruno Lawrence, Alison Routledge, Pete Smith

A long time favourite, and a great take on the last man standing concept. Feels odd seeing the scenery as a Kiwi watching this again in 2023, so much of it here is still the same!
pretty good slow at times but breath taking 10/10 will watch again
Not terrible, but hampered by a slow pace, limited budget, and maddeningly inconsistent characterisations. Never mind that 'ending.'
The kind of film that changes someone.
cool trippy movie.
