Film Review – Aftershock

“Aftershock” is a strange disaster film that desires to merge broad
comedy with utter depravity, looking to concoct a pungent brew of
exploitation for those who’ve developed a taste for such bitter screen
insanity. Unfortunately, the feature is lopsided, unfunny, and
needlessly aggressive, or, in other words, it was co-written by Eli
Roth, the horror player behind the “Hostel” series and “Cabin Fever.”
Though Nicolas Lopez is credited as co-screenwriter and director of
“Aftershock,” the picture bears all the birth defects of a Roth
endeavor, including wild tonal swings, cruel violence toward women, and
an overly jokey introduction. Although it hopes to depict the utter
downfall of man in the face of a natural disaster, it’s mostly obnoxious
and forgettable.
