Released in 2020, is a refreshing post-apocalyptic adventure that swaps the typical "grim-dark" dystopian aesthetic for a vibrant, creature-filled journey with a massive heart. Directed by Michael Matthews, the film follows Joel Dawson (Dylan O'Brien), a lovably hapless survivor who has spent seven years hiding in an underground bunker after a "Monsterpocalypse" wiped out 95% of humanity. Driven by the hope of reuniting with his high school girlfriend, Aimee (Jessica Henwick), Joel decides to brave a surface world overrun by giant, mutated insects and amphibians.
The film is anchored by charming performance as an underdog protagonist who evolves from a "useless" kitchen worker who freezes in danger to a capable survivor. Along his 80-mile trek, he is aided by a scene-stealing canine companion named Boy and a seasoned survivalist duo played by Michael Rooker and Ariana Greenblatt.
