Imagine having only hours left until the end of the world and everyone you know and love is heading to the party to end all parties. Now imagine you inadvertently become the only hope for a child searching for her father. What would you do?

These Final Hours directed by Zak Hilditch is a gripping new film that takes the classic end of the world scenario and adds that extra anxiety. I invite you to take a look below:

Watching the trailer makes me cringe – facing a cataclysmic end in less than 9 hours, James (Nathan Phillips) has to decide what kind of man he will be. Leave the girl, Rose (Angourie Rice), to fend for herself and stay with his friends at the party or bear the burden and get her to her family.

Powerful Imagery

The visuals in the trailer are haunting: bodies laying dead, a cloud of fire and smoke heading to the shore, people running rampant in the streets. I’m curious to see what horrors the pair will face on their journey and seeing the character James’ egotism turn to self-sacrifice. It makes you wonder how you would spend your last time on Earth knowing you only have hours left to live.

These Final Hours will be released in Australia on July 31, 2014. While there is no USA release date established yet, I’ll be on the watch!

What do you think? What would you do in his situation? Let me know in the comments.
