Amazon Prime Video has become a dumping ground for low-budget, post-apocalyptic-themed movies.
I count over three dozen little-known, independent post-apocalyptic movies on the service. Most do not have ratings on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, so they haven’t been seen by many, if any, professional critics. And their user ratings on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) tend to be low.
Putting a movie on Amazon Prime Video appears to be an easy way to generate some revenue for movies that aren’t likely to get distribution elsewhere.
Amazon has a service for filmmakers called Prime Video Direct. For each title, filmmakers can earn royalties based on hours streamed by Prime members, a revenue share for rentals or purchases, or ad impressions.
What follows is a list of recent, obscure post-apocalyptic movies now available for viewing on Amazon Prime Video.
Let me know if I missed any or if any of these are worth watching.
