Transcription
Plot
The film is set in New America in the year 2097, two decades after a nuclear apocalypse. Tex Kennedy, the last survivor of the Kennedy family, two robotic ex-secret service agents, and a female cannibal journey to find the "Threshold of Hell" to gain access to a radio tower to unite the survivors of the apocalypse.[1]
Production and release
The movie premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 23, 2006, and then toured the country screening at various film festivals.[citation needed] The movie was picked up by National Lampoon for a theatrical release in October 2007.[2]
Critical reaction
Rotten Tomatoes records an aggregate rating of 67% from six reviews.[3] The Village Voice found it "self-impressed film", and considered it an over-deliberate attempt to create a cult film, which failed, "funnier on paper than in reality", making a negative comparison to the Mad Max franchise.[4]
