The Blackout

2019 · 127 min

A grim, chaotic survival thriller that feels like a relentless descent into apocalyptic confusion and desperate action.

Tagline: Who's going to save you when the world falls into darkness?
Overview: Contact between most towns on Earth has been severed. A small ring-like area in Eastern Europe still has electricity, and maybe even life is being reported from space. What military forces find outside the ring is shocking.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Survival, war, power, betrayal
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
