    "Dark Rooms" is a post-apocalyptic love story shot in Manchester and the Peak District in the summer of 2019 (before the pandemic, haha).
    Tom and Emily are survivors of a viral pandemic that swept the globe, gifted with immunity. They haven't encountered anyone else in a long, long time. Emily is struggling to find a reason to keep going. Tom isn't ready to give up just yet. Together, they set out on a journey into the city of Manchester, England, looking for supplies - and perhaps a hope for the future.

    You need to do more than survive, you need to live. Very well done. 👏

    I like it because (1) It's different (2) Scenery is filmed stunningly (3) Expletives are not the answer.
    I found it inconceivable that they did not furnish some kind of weapon, until I realized it means that there really are no people.
    Timing may be a bit off, there is no way the corpses could look like that after any explicable time-scale. But maybe there are enough movies with realistic corpses out there.

    I loved it. Very in depth and gripping of how you two portrayed what life would be like after a plague of possibly Biblical proportions. The emptiness, the starting over. There would still be life out there, just on a smaller scale. I loved the scenery too, such beautiful place to live. Would like to see another, perhaps a part two. Peace from California

    Really enjoyed this. Different type of take on a pandemic. OK, I could pick up on a few things. However, hindsight is a wonderful beast and I am by know means a film director. Well done. Don't you just love peaceful Sunday mornings for filming 🤔😎

    Great visuals, cinematography and production design, lacks a compelling goal that can deliver essential context and make it a compelling story. They achieve their goal with little effort needed. Had there of been a compelling goal with strong opposition I'd of organically learnt a lot more about the characters, why doing what they're doing means so much on a practical and emotional level. Shame, such a lovely looking film.

    We don’t need any more post apocalyptic films. That genre has been done to death. Do something original

      Yeah, we need more trite superhero movies. When civilizations run out of ideas, they simply collapse. We have run out of out of ideas.

      You are correct, @@tardisflanagan5536 . The collapse is called an apocalypse though. So back to square one, this may end up to be the only genre one day.
