Hi, this is my first post here!
I'm usually just lurking as I have nothing interesting to contribute, but after seeing this movie last night I thought it was something you guys might like.
Dragonhead is a Japanese movie based on a manga.
It's about 2 schoolkids who are the only survivors of a traincrash, when they manage to get out of the tunnel they discover the reason of the traincrash: armageddon struck while they were passing through the tunnel.

The exact cause isn't explained, although there were a LOT of hints it was a polar shift.

Despite a few inconsistencies it was a very good movie. I especially liked how this is a movie of what happens directly after armageddon strikes instead of the usual buildup towards (all those meteor movies) or 100 years later post-apocalyptic movies.

Trailers can be seen here.

Not really, I'm from Belgium. :D
We just had a Fantasy, SF, Horror filmfestival here, I attend each year for my dose of weird movies. Sometimes we get lucky and get to see quite good movies instead of the usual crappy B-movies. Although Undead was a pretty good B-movie zombie-alien flick.

Isn't that the movie made by a couple of guys from AUS?
