The 8th Day
This 4 1/2 hour apocalyptic epic starts with Kayden Kross emerging from cryosleep to a recorded pep talk from her father saying that she'll probably be groggy and euphoric, so take it easy. In the anteroom just outside her cryochamber, she finds three studs whom she fucks silly, and when she wakes up from post-coital slumber she finds herself in the center of three feral man-things who try to eat her flesh and battle to the death for her.

So much for euphoric.

She dresses and goes outside into a graffiti-filled concrete culvert. No sounds of life. After wandering around a deserted city, she is captured by thugs who want to sell her to other thugs. She takes off with a scavenger (Amber Rayne) who tells her about "The Big Burn," which happened "a long time ago — before I was born" and clues Kross to the different tribes: "The Morlocks have a disgusting skin fungus — and there are a lot worse tribes than the Morlocks. Let's leave it at that."

In "Elysium Fields," the scavenger shows the "Prince" what she has gathered, and Kross meets up with one of the thugs — who neglected to mark her as a possession. At dinner with the Prince, Kross finds out the whole history of what happened and the sins of the father are visited upon the daughter, who catches on too late to what her legacy really is.

Two discs of extras include extended scenes; interviews; bloopers; makeup, wardrobe and hair tests; YouTube videos; trailers; a music video; a 150-minute behind-the-scenes feature, a look at special effects; a look at prop and set design; Kross' on set video blogs; still galleries; and a downloadable PDF of the script.

Synopsis:

Samantha has awakened--awakened to a recording of her long dead father, and the world she knew is gone. It's now post-burn and only various tribes of proto-humans remain. After witnessing how brutal the emptied out city can be, she is captured and readied for sale. While her captor enjoys himself with a trading post working girl, she is stolen by Mel, a scavenger who fills her in on what has happened and where they are going-to Elysium Fields and its charismatic leader, Prince Amir.
