More low-budget, post-apocalyptic movies showing up on Amazon


With digital cameras, personal computers and video-editing software, it’s much easier to make a feature-length movie now than it was in the days of film production. That’s created an explosion of movies available for streaming online.
The post-apocalyptic genre, especially zombie movies, have become a staple of low-budget, independent moviemaking. And many of those movies end up on Amazon, either through its Prime subscription service or for rental.
The few that I’ve checked out have been pretty awful. Bad acting, directing and writing. Just overall amateurish in nature.
Over the last three years, I’ve documented 250 such post-apocalyptic themed movies on Amazon. They are little seen and poorly reviewed, when they even get reviews.
I keep a separate list of notable and higher-profile post-apocalyptic movies on Tech-media-tainment.
