[REL] Solos (2008) [Chile]

Post by benjaminblack »   0 likes

In an undefined future, the earth has been destroyed by man, and the air polluted with a mysterious virus that turns humans into zombies. Only a few children are immune to the disease and have adapted to these extreme conditions and survived. Camille, a nine year old girl wanders through these desolate wastelands, protecting herself from zombies and the armed military forces that roam the land killing anyone who might be infected. However, the little girl will find other kids like her that share a recurring dream of: they all have visions of the ocean as their destiny. Together they will try to survive the journey to the ocean in search of an escape from the military who seem to be as determined on their destruction as on the zombies

I always wondered how zombies continued to exist once most/all of the population is turned into zombies. I mean, the food supply steadily diminishes while the zombie population explodes so the zombies all have to starve, right? I figure if you can avoid the zombies until they've canceled themselves out, you'll survive. So, how do all these post-apocalyptic zombies feed themselves? It wouldn't do any good for them to eat each other - not enough braaaaaaiiiiinnnnnsssss to go around. :icon_gy

Interesting film. Most of the cast are children. The story is the typical post-apocalypse but the zombies won't attack the surviving children - the ending was something of a surprise, was original, and nicely tied everything together. If you're expecting a big-budget scary horror flick, this may disappoint but it was still OK. A reviewer's comment at IMDb is pretty accurate:
For about a half a million dollars, the movie was shot in ten days, with mostly young children ranging from five to ten years old. The children's acting may not be up to par and some of the effects surely reflect the lack of budget & time but Descendants/Solos is a truly dark and disturbing movie set in a dystopian world that looks like a low budget mixture of 28 Days Later and Children Of Men, with strong echoes to Chile's past as a military dictatorship.
Note: All dialogue is in English - no subtitles needed. Be sure to watch past the ending credits.

Thanks benjaminblack and LD! :clap :clap
And thanks Phuzzy for pointing out the audio is English, that makes a difference to many people deciding whether to download.

Ah! I thought being from Chile it woulda been in Spanish. I had found the spanish subtitles and was trying to translate them into english before I finished downloading the film lol.. I guess that was a waste of time :wall
