"The best independent horror movie this year.
Packs an emotional and informative punch that
may just be the most important film of the decade."
-Tom Cappello, turnerclassicmovies.com

"Syriana for dummies.
While Syriana mostly confused folks, Oilcrash is straightforward enough to scare them
- a startling, well-made documentary and every minute of it is entertaining."
Laura Kyle, efilmcritic.com

"People need to see this movie"
-Don R. Lewis, FILM THREAT


Our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with disaster. Compelling, intelligent, and highly disturbing, the film visits with the world’s top experts and comes to a startling but logical conclusion – our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.  The world’s oil supplies are peaking and the crisis of global shortage looms; we are running out of oil and we don’t have a plan.
