Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/03/2022
At its core, this is an earnest movie about how best to endure a crisis: by sharing the load with others, rather than assuming every stranger is an enemy. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 12/07/2021
This story of a father and son surviving off-grid against an outside world of "chaos and marauders" might seem a cabin-bound reimagining of the post-apocalyptic The Road (2009), but Drew Mylrea's feature is more akin to The Village (2004). Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 11/01/2021
It's clearly a film with a lot on its mind, one that's eager to grapple with the gnarled roots of its own appeal. But its reticence keeps it from exploring the more challenging, and possibly more rewarding, paths laid out before it. Go to Full Review
Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror Dec 17
4/5
While the plot is also quite small in a sense, it hits damn hard. With strong performances to carry the simple plot of this dystopian thriller, you should be entertained from start to finish. Go to Full Review

1/5
Overacted and cringeworthy Go to Full Review
Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers 10/31/2023
Although the execution isn’t perfect, Mylrea gets extra points for the unexpected tonal shift — and how the film’s revelations are gradually brought to light. Overall, the cast manages to salvage “Last Survivors.” Go to Full Review

Sam A @Padlock 08/31/2024 A good watch with a decent twist that I didn't see coming. The film is mainly based around the relationship of father and son See more Dave V @MBgolfee 04/18/2024 I only have one question the film didn't answer. Why!!! See more Avindu G @RT86379654 06/12/2023 It's a pretty simple conclusion and there were so many hints along the way. The dialogues felt unnatural as if it was forced. Maybe due to this rawness in dialogues the bond between Troy and Jake seemed impossible to have been preserved away from the world for such a lengthy period of time. Great scenery of nature. Snowy mountains and lonely woods can justify the secret existence yet it's not realistic considering the civilization so much nearby. Great acting by the cast carefully treating the characters and putting up a balanced performance. Sincere acting by Drew and Stephen makes this watch interesting. See more Rich G @Rich0826 05/25/2023 Not terrible.. the son is to good looking with perfect hair to have lived in the wilderness his whole life. Would have been mad if I paid for it. See more al s @RT69627246 09/04/2022 Story kept me focused on the movie. See more harris r @Harrisons_reviews 08/30/2022 How is this "at least 30 mins too long" film a sci-fi? Filmmakers (the writer and director) that only have short-film experience need to start becoming more mindful of what they put on a film's running time. Of the long and dragged out 98 min runtime, the entire first half should've been condensed to at most 20 mins. Ya we get it, father and son are survivalists, get on with the story. Typical rookie filmmakers mistakes. And whoever decided to genre-label this a "sci-fi" needs to give their heads a shake. There's zero sci-fi in this film. For that matter, there's very little thrills even calling this a "thriller". Maybe 10 mins tops near the end where your heart rate may go up a few bpm. This is more of a mystery/drama film, that drags out a lot of filler, and underutilized any good substance there was in the story. Conceptually, the story is smart, but the execution was clumsy, drab, and muddled. The performances were good and convincing, especially Silverstone. The cinematography was decent, as was the soundtrack - especially the last song by Baker Grace, but the score was your typical B film nonsense; loud, overbearing, constant and annoying. If you're patient, and maybe fast-forward most of the first half of the film, it does get better by the ending, and it'd be a good one-time watch if you have nothing better to see. It's a generous 6/10 from me for this non-thrilling non-sci-fi film. See more Read all reviews
