I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday (2017)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is the type of slow-burn horror movie that relies on excellent storytelling and good acting, rather than jump scares or special effects. A compelling story that hooks you and doesn't let you go.

White Doomsday has been called bleak and pessimistic by other reviewers, and that's what it's supposed to be.All too often we're presented with apocalyptic depictions where movie stars defy all odds and rise above the situation. Well that doesn't happen in this film! Mike Lombardo shows us an apocalypse that is an absolutely wretched situation and a situation best avoided. A bomb shelter and a stockpile of guns mean nothing when the food runs out. Throughout the movie, I truly sympathize with all the characters, even the monster! This is a rare thing in horror films.I'm Dreaming Of A White Doomsday is the story of ordinary people dealing with a really bad situation. It doesn't end well. That's what makes good horror.This is my first time ever movie review. Sorry for any inarticulateness.

Good writing is what gets you through a coffee break. Great writing is what gets you through everything else. Mike Lombardo's talented pen proves quite adept at achieving both. His latest work is proof positive that when talent meets passion . . it's a fire starter, because he is bringing some serious heat with this tale. I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday marries the traditional plate of merry with an unconventional serving of horrific splendor. Told from a seat at the table inside the end of times, Doomsday leads us on a journey where hope exists in earnest sips. At the onset, we're introduced to a young family struggling to survive an apocalyptic event inside the din of a bomb shelter. Inside this world of black and white conclusions, the three attempt to color up their future in more hopeful palettes; buoyed by a yesterday whose promise seems a fleeting, wicked tease. Inside the misery of horrible consequences, Lombardo sprinkles seeds of hope: A father's promise to his young son reads like a sonnet. A mother's vow to return from the wreckage feeds us with the warmth of stolen days. And then there's Santa, trudging through the wasteland in his gas mask, fending off the inevitable tides whilst lugging a sack of mysterious yuletide. Doomsday reminds us why cinema will never go away. Because there is a magic to the gathering swell of strangers who lose themselves inside the whispers and hush of magical stories. Stories like this.

I was lucky enough to see an advance copy of a little film that could called I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday directed by a man named Mike Lombardo, a sadistic, soulless filmmaker who wants to ruin everything you find cheery.On a slim budget of around 10 grand, Lombardo and his crew have managed to pull of a once in a lifetime feat by taking a tired trope, that of an apocalyptic Christmas, spinning it around, placing it firmly on its head and then proceeds to kick it in the balls.I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday is basically a one set piece, set just before Christmas in the fallout shelter of a young family. After the father leaves to forage for supplies the mother is left alone to care for her young child while dealing with the realities of the end of the world.If that sounds like a thin as you can be plot, that's because it is and that is all that the movie needs. However, with the powerhouse performance of Hope Bikle as our mother with no rope to hang onto, you get dragged into this deceptively dark and depressing movie kicking and screaming and you will not be able to look away.If the word Indie scares you at all, or has a certain perceived notion in your head, just forget it. This movie looks and feels like it was shot by a group of Hollywood hotshots out for a good time. There was never a minute that I had the thought of "Oh, well, I see what the filmmakers were going for, but they had very little to work with, bravo to them." No, This is the movie that 10 Cloverfield Lane wished it could be.And to top it all off, when you finally think that you know where this movie is going, it just turns around, gives you the middle finger and politely asks you for your guts!The gang over at Reel Splatter Productions have put together a movie that cruises in at around an hour and 10 minutes but will never let you forget the time you spend with them. They are hitting the festival circuit now and if you have the chance, make sure you go check them out! These guys will be going far, and I for one welcome their fresh eye to the genre! Well played, boys… Well played….
