The Abandonded (2009)

- written Feb 2009

Summary: A story of mankind’s struggle to rebuild after the end of civilization as we know it. During a catastrophic event, a young boy (Nate) is abandoned by society. Years later, he emerges back into a world that has long since forgotten about him. Society as he knew it has been replaced by an underground human force that is constantly defending itself against the mutant cannibals known as Creepers. There is only one hope for mankind now, which lies in the blood of a young girl who was born with genetic traits that make her able to survive the harsh weather conditions that now wreak havoc on the earth. Nate joins a ragtag group of human rebels as they travel through Creeper territory to deliver the girl to a rumored city that is the last remnant of humankind.           Overall: A nice little low-budget film in the post-apocalyptic era. We have loners. We have zombie brawls. We have experimentation. We have creepers. It’s a very interesting movie and definitely something that says, “I want to see more from Matthew A. Peters.” I think the best part of the film is the backgrounds, the scenery and the cinematography. I thought the work done to give us the visual of our planet after “civilization has ended” was really cool.           Comparison: Mad Max meets Screamers
