The Survivalist is a 2015 British post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller film written and directed by Stephen Fingleton[3] and starring Martin McCann, Mia Goth, and Olwen Fouéré.

Kathryn offers the Survivalist some jewellery and seeds in exchange for some of his crops, but he declines, all the while holding them at gunpoint.

Finally, Kathryn offers him Milja, and an agreement is made for sex with the young woman in exchange for food.

However, Kathryn and Milja plan to secretly kill the Survivalist in order to reduce the amount of supplies being used.

After the Survivalist is alerted by an out-of-place footprint in the mud outside the cabin, he takes off into the woods after Milja and her assailant.

The assailant approaches the wounded Survivalist, first intending to shoot him again in order to kill him, but pulls out his knife instead, presumably to save the bullet.

Armed with only a shotgun with two shells and a pistol with one bullet salvaged from Milja's abductor, they decide that they are outnumbered and cannot fight back.

The following morning, the Survivalist, Kathryn and Milja emerge from the cabin to discover that their farm has been ransacked and all of their crops have been stolen.

Realising that there was no way that both of them would escape alive, the Survivalist cut his brother's Achilles tendon and left him to die.

Milja sneaks into their green house for the seeds and the Survivalist stands watch while the raiders ransack the cabin.

His dying body is looted next to a large spit and fire made from the cabin's wood, implying that the raiders are cannibalistic.

Milja wanders the woods alone for a long time, until she eventually arrives at a large compound, surrounded by barbed-wire fences and patrolled by armed guards.

The critical consensus states: "The Survivalist's deliberate pace pays gripping dividends with a tautly told post-apocalyptic drama that offers some uniquely thought-provoking twists.

"[10] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 80 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
