The Day After (1983 TV Movie)
6/10
An Attempt at Real Horror?
17 October 2017
A graphic, disturbing film about the effects of a devastating nuclear holocaust on small-town residents of eastern Kansas.

Although the film might be slightly dated today (2017), I would stress only slightly. The overall theme and message are unchanged. The real-life horror that would occur, even in the middle of America, with a full nuclear assault is still something that could occur.

While categorized as "science fiction", this is really pretty spot on. People do not gain mutant powers and America does not invent some new device to nullify nuclear weapons. This is a very realistic what-if scenario.
