And Then They Forgot God

About This Movie

And Then They Forgot God is this fascinating slice of dystopian narrative that really captures the absurdity of a future where survival hinges on bureaucracy. The atmosphere is thick, almost stifling, with characters often weighed down by the oppressive systems in place. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do a decent job of immersing you in a world where breathing gear becomes a necessity. The pacing has a languid quality, not rushing through its themes of control and loss, which makes for a rather contemplative experience. Performances are raw and feel genuine, reflecting the struggles of individuals caught in a system designed to strip away their humanity. There’s an unsettling resonance to it, and that alone makes it distinct.

This film has had a somewhat limited release history, with various formats surfacing over the years, mainly on VHS and some obscure DVD editions. Its scarcity has definitely piqued collector interest, particularly among those drawn to offbeat dystopian narratives. Finding a decent copy can be a challenge, but for those who appreciate the deeper commentary and atmospheric storytelling, it’s worth the hunt.
