They didn't have a night time scene


why ??

reply

Was it needed? Or was there a very important night time scene in the book and I forgot about it?

reply

Yeah, I don't remember a night scene either and I also didn't realize this movie was based on a book.

Interesting.

How does the book stack up against the movie?

reply

I haven't read the book but most post apocalyptic movies have night time scenes, strange that this one did not.

reply

Interesting. And perhaps a missed opportunity...because night scenes in movies like this tend to add extra spookiness. Maybe they felt a night scene could reveal a flaw in the premise. In the dark, could the "creatures" be as easily "seen"? And if not, would it make it easier to go outside/go on runs at night?

reply

The monster effects wouldn't have looked good at all. The rustling leaves in the whirling wind? The shadows? How could you shoot that in the dark?
