This is odd because Harrison’s #DaysOfStarlight seemed quite anti-racist, and whilst the main character of #TheQuietEarth turns out to be racially prejudiced, he’s meant to be an unsympathetic protagonist.

A great low-budget science fiction film with ideas. All of the cast survived because they were dying at the point of change. That's some dark stuff.

I think #theQuietEarth influenced some of the parts of #theLastOfUs TV adaptation that were embellished from the game. The beginning of Bill’s story feels like Zac first adapting to isolation, and the ambush in Pittsburgh is a bit like Api’s trap.
