This futuristic sci-fi drama is in stark black-and-white with no dialogue β but is no less gripping for that.
Set in a bleak rubble-strewn cityscape destroyed by a Third World War, the film focuses on one woman and four men. Struggling to stay alive in the aftermath, they are forced to communicate without words due to the effect of destructive war gases.
Now that the catastrophe has erased their pasts, not only do they have to find food and keep warm, they must also recreate their lives from scratch.

This is a sequel to the hit film about Greg and how he just about survives life at school and at home.
This time around his parents are trying to make him and his much cooler older brother Roderick spend more time together. Neither of them are too happy about that, although it does mean Greg and his mates get to see what a wild party is like.
As in the first film, everything that can go wrong does go wrong for Greg β and pretty much anyone whoβs ever been to school will be cringing in sympathy.

When his niece is kidnapped by a pack of vampires, he breaks his sacred vows to go on the hunt for them before she can be made one of their kind.
Her wasteland sheriff boyfriend and a former Warrior Priestess with astounding fighting skills join this high-adrenaline quest.
