From asteroids to zombies, the film and television industry has dreamed

journalist david j. moore helps you
navigate the abundance of post-apocalyptic films to separate the
brilliant from the toxic.

most-obscure films;

a five-level rating system and a vast subgenre index to guide your post-apocalyptic binge watching; and
