The Last Survivors Trailer

The Last Survivors (also known as The Well) is a 2014 post-apocalyptic thriller directed by Thomas S. Hammock. Set in a future where water has become a scarce and precious resource, the film follows Kendal, a resilient young woman played by Haley Lu Richardson, as she struggles to survive in a drought-ridden wasteland. Alongside her friend Dean (played by Booboo Stewart), Kendal attempts to hold on to the last operational well in the area, which provides just enough water to sustain them.

In this desolate world, powerful forces led by the ruthless Carson (played by Jon Gries) are willing to kill anyone who stands in their way of controlling the remaining water sources. As Carson’s men close in, Kendal is forced into a deadly battle for survival, using her wit, resourcefulness, and determination to protect herself and Dean. The film combines survivalist elements with tense action as Kendal fights to outwit her enemies while trying to secure a future in a land that seems devoid of hope.

The film’s stark cinematography captures the unforgiving, barren landscape, enhancing the sense of desperation and isolation. Haley Lu Richardson’s performance as Kendal was widely praised, adding depth to her character’s resilience and vulnerability. The story explores themes of survival, environmental collapse, and the lengths people will go to protect what little they have left.

While The Last Survivors received mixed reviews, with some critics noting its relatively simple plot, it garnered appreciation for its atmosphere, visual style, and Richardson’s performance. It stands as a bleak, intense tale of survival that reflects anxieties about environmental degradation and the scarcity of natural resources in a future world on the brink of collapse.
