Survival!

About This Movie

Survival! is a curious little film that feels like a time capsule from 1980. Directed by Alan Madison, it dives into the nitty-gritty of wilderness survival, showcasing practical techniques with a strong emphasis on safety. The pacing is brisk, which keeps you engaged despite its educational nature. It employs a mix of dramatization and documentary style, which adds a layer of cinematic flair that’s not typical for instructional films. The four scenarios it offers tackle hyperthermia and hypothermia, bringing urgency to the need for common sense and preparation. The performances aren't what you'd call Oscar-worthy, but they serve the film's purpose effectively. Overall, it’s a fascinating blend of drama and education that, while niche, has a certain charm for those interested in survival skills.
