With its vast array of terrors visited upon the population of Kent (especially its children, suggesting Watkins may have been targeting his film to the nightmares of little children), the film mongers fear with the best of them. But it's hard not to see this as the product of a very different time. The pseudo-sobriety of the "documentary" format belies Watkins' near-hysterical approach to the subject matter.

Worst. Game. Ever. None of the other children want to play with Peter Watkins. He just sets things on fire... He's really quite brilliant, though.

Like Watkins 'Punishment Park' this is quite a powerful film. It's a 'what if' mockumentary of sorts showing the effects of a nuclear attack on the citizens of the UK. It's only 48 minutes long but it packs a punch in it's short running time. Definitely a film to seek out if you haven't seen it.
