LOVE AND MONSTERS (full review at Screen Realm)

Threatened with a deadly meteorite, the chemical fallout from Earth’s defences cause the planet’s insects, molluscs and assorted creepy crawlies to mutate to giant size, and wipe out 95% of the population. Thus, seven years into the apocalypse, Joel (Dylan O'Brien) lives in an underground bunker with a group of fellow survivors.

Crippled by a paralysing fear of the monsters, Joel gets by as the colony’s(reluctant) chef. But when he reconnects over the radio with his pre-apocalypse girlfriend, Aimee (Jessica Henwick), Joel decides to head out to find her.
