Synopsis
Vic (Don Johnson), survivor of atomic holocaust, wanders hungrily across the bleak desert landscape in search of cans of food buried deep in radioactive ash. His telepathic dog, Blood (Tim McIntire) depends on Vic for food, but Vic needs Blood to find him something much more scarce: female companionship. The bedraggled duo eventually discover an underground society of survivors, called 'Down Under', where they have reproduced the look of pre-apocalypse Americana but with frighteningly totalitarian politics. A cult black comedy based on the novella by Harlan Ellison.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have film., 5 April 2008
If you remember the 70,s and 80,s with all the end of the world/nuclear war and horror type apocolyptic films you will love this film, although if you want gore it is tame on that part . Set in the future in the aftermath of a world war , we find ourselves watching a boy and his dog on their travels. The dog talks to the boy through telepathy , and it is hilarious. The dog is the star of the show. The "boy" although he seems very late teens, early 20's is intent on finding a female to ... we'll leave it at that , the dog can sniff out females, and at one point refuses to go any further till the boy has found him some popcorn. The wit and the sense of humour is hilarious, and as we watch their travels it becomes apparant that the dog is the far more intelligent one. A woman eventually found, she decides the dog is not welcome where she is taking her new found "boy" but is all as it seems? The final scene in this film is brilliant. The only downfall is that the film is grainy in parts and does not seem to have made the transfer to dvd perfectly. Definately worth having in your end of the world collection though . Warning!!!!!! The "boy" is a very young Don Johnson!

4.0 out of 5 stars A little dark humour, 13 April 2009
It is a fun film that I first saw years ago, but don't buy it if you are looking for an action flick. It has it's moments, and has it's dark humour, but it is the ending that really hits the spot. Boy and his dog,where can I get one. Oh and if you are a fan of Don, in this he is a teenager, not quite the miami vice man in his later years.
