One of my favorite movies. Nuclear war is something I have recurring nightmares about and am actually afraid of so it gets me more than any horror movie.

It definitely seems more plausible than a serial killer or cult something like that, especially so recently after the cold war like when this movie was made.

I recommend the book, “Alas, Babylon” by Pat Frank (read by Will Patton if you get the audible version, which is what I love to listen to).

It’s about a community’s survival after a nuclear attack. No zombies or jump scares. Humans being humans and a lack of communication/resources.

Warning: it is a dated book. It’s time period is set during segregation. It isn’t predominant, but it does come up from time to time.

Here is a link to the audible version: https://www.audible.com/pd/B004BOGF3W?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp
