       Day 474. Evelyn (Blunt), and her children (Simmonds and Jupe) realise that they can no longer stay at the farm and set out silently to find the people who have lit a fire on top of the next mountains. The trek is fraught with danger but they survive and find Emmett (Murphy), their former friend and neighbour. At first he is hostile and tries to send them away.

       The daughter Regan (Simmonds) thinks she knows how to find help and leaves in the night. Evelyn appeals to Emmett on their old friendship to go after her. She must stay with injured Marcus (Jupe) and the newborn baby.

       Like Part I, it’s slow, suspenseful and dramatic. It doesn’t always make sense but it’s a good sequel. I hope there will be a Part III.
