Five (1951) | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Dull, talky, gloomy, pretentious, naive and slow-moving post-apocalyptic survival story of the unfit.

Admirably grave, indelible parable of nuclear unease

A beautifully realized, semi-pretentious, almost forgotten mini-classic of Atom Age after-the-bomb poetry and paranoia, 'Five' sketches its post-disaster environment with admirable economy; it now seems more like an 'art' film than a genre effort.

For all of his budgetary limitations, it's a strikingly atmospheric and handsome film and [Arch] Oboler creates an eerie sense isolation with simple techniques.
