The Road was the most horrifying movie I've ever watched, thanks to having kids.

Being unable to protect your children like in that movie hit all my primitive parental fears.



Is the hit just a visceral one, though, or one that's well written for the right reasons?


It’s an excellent book and movie. It’s not a horror film - but a subtle and post apocalyptic draining you of hope to the very end, in the most beautiful way possible in the ugliest of places. It’s a film for experiencing the stoicism and pain of futile fatherhood.


Very good book. A tough read, but the end just brought it all together in a very meaningful way, for me.


Are we still the good guys?
