Zusatztext Quite frankly this is a guide book that fans of the sub-genre really need just for the sake of finding films out there that they may not have seen before. That someone out there has managed to not only see all of these but catalogue them in this amount of detail is a film-buffs dream come true. Anything even remotely end of the world related gets a look in. And not just high budget! or 80s Mad Max rip offs! but all of the low brow titles you are likely to have never heard of down through the past few decades get covered (yes Albert Pyun fans he even gets his own index). Its amazing that even in the pages that have A-Z lists that they still find space for colour photos to keep you leafing through! staving off any boredom the eye might find. This is a real film nerds collectors item written by one! for the many. This is time well spent on a great book! Steven Hurst!

An entire subculture of end-of-the-world themes was spawned from films like The Road Warrior, Escape From New York, and The Terminator. While those films are still being emulated today, film makers all around the world continue to produce radically unique films with startling perspectives of humanity facing the end of all things. This book offers pointers and a frame of reference on how the characters behaved when their worlds were on the brink of desolation. It covers the genre's biggest blockbusters like "The Hunger Games", "I Am Legend", "Oblivion" and "World War Z", while devoting equal time and attention to smaller, more obscure films that really deserve to be discovered. Containing over 800 movie reviews, 60 exclusive interviews with filmmakers and actors who've made films in the genre, and a vast sub-genre index, this is a chronicle of humanity's struggles through nuclear war, global natural disasters, and the zombie apocalypse in film. Zusammenfassung A comprehensive guide to 800+ end-of-the-world movies with 400+ images and exclusive set photos!...
