Sometimes you want a film to make you absolutely miserable and ruin your week, and if that’s what you’re after this time then The Road was practically made for you.
You’ve likely heard stories or seen memes about this film, following a father and son duo struggling to survive in the world following a nondescript apocalypse event. With no beasts or monsters in this universe, the only enemies are people themselves - and if zombie stories like The Walking Dead have taught us anything, it’s that people are infinitely more dangerous than any monster.
A series of unspeakably horrible events befall the father and son, from attacks and robberies right through to terrifying encounters with cannibals. The horror comes from the things they have to endure and the apparent hopelessness of it all. With so little left, nobody can be trusted and you could be killed at any minute by anyone.
It’s far from easy watching so be warned - if you want to spend the rest of the week feeling like a shell of a human then go right ahead.
