Movies that gave you PTSD as a kid :)

That movie was soul crushing. Right up there with Savior and the remake of On The Beach as one of the most brutal films ever made. Worst part about the Road is even if his kid with the new family who has a dog survives, it's still the end of everything and humanity isn't going to recover, they are just dragging out the inevitable. Even if you found a warehouse with a lifetime supply of non perishable food, you would spend the rest of your life trying to defend it and would eventually lose.

If it was me, I'd probably spend a few years trying to survive but would ultimately come to the conclusion that this is no way to live and would do whatever is important to me while I still could then check out as painlessly as possible.

School me on the "On the Beach" remake. I saw the old one and thought it was decent.

The Road has a good ending filled with hope.

We need more movies like "The Road". Probably the best overall SHTF movie ever made.

That's ok. Shtf movies are like watching zombie movies. Once is fun but afterwards it's the same old shit

If I'd seen Haxan as a toddler, there definitely would be some wide eyes open at night for quite a while ..

Armand Assante and Rachel Ward. Powerful modern day remake where China retakes Taiwan and we trade nukes with them. Otherwise essentially the same film but with a modern realism thrown in and showing the breakdown of society in ways that the original could never depict.

Sure, but no matter how you do the math it's checkmate. The Earth is essentially dead and existing supplies of non perishable food will carry no more than the next generation.

The family has a girl around the same age as the boy.

I took it that they grow up and marry and start the process all over again. We've almost gone extinct more than a few times on this space ship Earth of our's.

More or less the focus of my last SF novella, earth uses it's remaining tech to find a few habitable planets knowing it's lights out if they don't get off the planet while it's still possible:

Salem's Lot; still holds up well today. Noserfatu; same.

My mother took me to see “ghost story” in the theater. I was 9. It gave me nightmares for weeks. But “the exorcist” and “the shining” are probably my all time ptsd inducers. I recently saw “Hereditary” and it was damn, damn good. The car scene and it’s final payoff shot burned straight into my mind and I can’t say that about any movie in 20-30 years.
