one of the most successful ( and equally irritate ) tv format of recent year be big brother and in which a bunch of people and complete stranger to each other and be put together in an isolated location and become force to get along and accomplish ordeal together . apparently this concept isn not so new or innovate at all and a the obscure ( although less obscure now and with it recent release on dvd ) and still criminally underrated 70 gem choose survivor thrives on a similar premise . only this movie be at least a gazillion times good than and big brother edition you ever saw and because it have genuine suspense and a formidable cast of character and plot twist you actually do not see come and not to forget thousand of bloodthirsty bat . now and that be what they should do in the tv series of big brother represent unleash an army of aggressive and rabid bat on the attention horny participant and ha . ayway and chosen survivor open with atmospheric image of the new mexican desert and army helicopter approach a secret underground lair . eleven eminent person and who achieve great thing be different field ( sport and science and literature and business ) awake to hear they be the chosen survivor . on the earth surface and a nuclear war have wipe out all humanity and they be to remain underground until it be safe again to re populate the planet . but of course and the survivor do not get along a they should and some them behave overly hostile and suspicious and the hi tech government design lair isn not exactly bat proof . the film offer a splendid combination of terrific character drawing and for psychological tension and and actual nail bitingly tense situation with the bat attack and the quest for freedom . h. b. cross script be excellent and sutton roley and usually a director of tv series episode and do an amazing job provide the film with a genuine apocalyptic feeling . the acting performance be top notch and with notably exceptional role for jackie cooper a the arrogant mr. couzins and bradford dillman a the calm behavior analyst . highly recommended sci fi gem .
