The Last Days (2013)

Directors: David Pastor, Àlex Pastor

Starring: Quim Gutiérrez, Jose Coronado, Marta Etura

In this terrifying apocalyptic horror, a mysterious epidemic like no other has swept across the globe, leaving chaos in its wake.

With Covid-19 we got an idea of what it could have been like if the disease were to get as bad as depicted in this film. ‘The Last Days’ is a post-apocalyptic film about a mysterious disease. In this case, the victims are afraid of open spaces, especially the outdoors. As a result, they don’t leave their homes – or offices – for months.

In the beginning, the film jumps around between past and present. At first, we’re not entirely sure what happened, but this is explained soon enough through back flashes.

The film’s protagonist is Marc. In the bleak, dystopian world of the present, he is looking for his girlfriend Julia, who is pregnant. Marc’s former boss, Enrique, is looking for his Dad, and together they embark on a journey to find their loved ones. With the world being turned into a dangerous place, they encounter many obstacles along the way.

‘The Last Days’ is a post-apocalyptic action thriller drama that hopefully will never happen…

In Spanish.

Would I watch it again? Although a good watch, I doubt I will.
