Post-nuclear-war dramas centering on a small group of survivors now constitute an entire genre in science-fiction films. 嗄ll of them, in some way or another, can be traced back to this seminal film from ①⑨⑤① in which five people deal with the possibility they are the only human beings left alive on the planet.　　While most of the later movies exploited this possibility for B-movie thrills, Five adopts a quiet, contemplative tone which some may find dull but which thoughtful viewers are more likely to find, for want of a better word, haunting. There is something about this movie which gets under the skin and which lurks in the corners of the mind long after it's over.
