The Road: Probably only seen by a small number of people compared with this list, but by far the darkest vision of the future I can think of. A superbly made and acted film with no big stars (unless you count a barely recognizable Robert Duvall) or Hollywood glitz like these others. Good catch.

The Road was just too dark and depressing.

The Road movie was extremely depressing. The book was more... palatable.

Duvall played (as I saw it) the very old ‘Lt. Col Bill Kilgore’ years after his commanding days of the Air Mobile Cavalry.

The Directors of that film simply had to get their digs in over the never lose character played by Duvall.

The Road

Yes, way dark. IMHO because it adhered closely to the book and didn't get wrapped up in effects and relationship drama.
