Preview: Bellflower (2011)

Synopsis:

Two guys, expecting and hoping for a major apocalyptic event, build flamethrowers and other weapons in an effort to prepare to become the dominant force in the post-apocalyptic world.

• Poster: C

Review:

The poster makes this look like an action film with a romantic sublot. The trailer only provides confirmation that there's a romance involved. The action potential isn't quite evident.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

For a film that boasts so many plaudits, it's hard to believe a film could look so pedestrian. Are they trying to avoid showing some of the more creative scenes from the film in hopes of preventing the experience from being ruined? If so, they may not have to worry about it because I can't imagine anyone wanting to see this after that trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
