    I dont know how many has seen it. Im a fan of post nuclear stuff. The film is interesting. Very dark and the world seems lost, and except the supernatural dog and the underground society it feels quite believable.

    The Fallout series has borroverd alot from it.

    I caught it on youtube before it got taken down and it's not bad. I'm still looking for a copy of the book. Amazing how hard some of these old novels are to find.

    It's ok for what it is, but visually it's a weird take on the story, with the pancake make-up, etc. I've always liked Don Johnson though.

    Your local library probably has the original story either in one of Harlan's books or in an SF anthology. Also check ebay for an old paperback. Most of Harlan's stuff is OP.

    Half the time searching for the books is more fun. I actually stumbled across On The Beach at my old shrink's office in a donation box.

    If you think the movie's dark, wait until you read the book!

    I've loved the film since I was a kid. I'm also a fan of the genre.

    LQ Jones didn't direct a lot, he's obviously more known as a quirky character actor, but I always thought he did a good job with this one.

    I have not read the book either. I might have to check it out.
