What Now? is a curious little piece of post-apocalyptic cinema shot on video, hailing from Ohio. The film establishes a gritty atmosphere right from the start, with its low-budget aesthetic and haphazard editing that lend it a certain charm. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but it actually suits the chaotic world it's trying to portray. The performances lean towards the over-the-top, which somehow enhances the film's raw energy. Practical effects—while not groundbreaking—add a level of authenticity that’s often missing in today’s polished productions. The themes of survival and desperation are palpable, making it a distinct entry in the genre, mostly for its heart rather than technical prowess. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, in its own rough-hewn way.
