Review – Panic in Year Zero

Ray Miland stars in and directs this tale of post-apocalyptic survival. Our hero and his family are on their way to do some camping when a nuclear sneak attack takes out Los Angeles. The population swiftly devolves in to pre-civilized savagery, stealing, raping and killing. As a portrait of human behavior tossed headfirst into a state of nature, this isn’t too bad. A bit preachy – sort of like Leave it to Beaver meets Lord of the Flies – but still fun. Mildly amusing
