No, that was 'The Magnificent Seven' but this one does seem to have used elements from a number of other films.
'What is an Oprah?'-Teal'c.
Magnificent Seven was an remake of Seven Samurai. It is perhaps the most famous remake in film history.
And The Day clearly copies from Seven Samurai as well.
That's _exactly_ what he said though. To the letter.
-Nailed it.-
Maybe "The Road"?
shareAfter reading up about it, I figured it was just 'Tooth & Nail' with a slightly bigger budget :D

When you come up with a better term for people that post something stupid just to get a reaction let me know, I don't care for the word either but it does fit the crime

Obviously you either didn't get the story of "7 samurai" or have never seen it before.
"7 samurai" and "The Magnificent 7" were story of a group of people who never met each other, decided to work together to protect a village from being rob by muggers, during which, each character had to overcome their own obstacles. It's a story about justice, not survival.
Classics are names that everyone heard, yet most have never seen!!
It does take quite a bit from Samurai 7, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a remake.
It is very similar to the original 13th Precinct. Police are trapped in a Police station while gang memebers lay seige to it. They let out one of the prisoners, also a gang memeber, who chooses to fight with the police and is the sole survivor.
When they started preparing the house for defence, I was like "Ha ha, somebody's clearly been inspired by Seven Samurai, 13th Precinct and The Road and decided to make an apocalyptic slasher based on that. And they seem to be doing quite a good job of it!" Anyone who doesn't immediately connect the dots between these four films needs to re-watch all of them within a period not exceeding 2 weeks.
I enjoyed this and would even watch it again after a while. The only 3 things that ruined it just a little bit for me were 1) Their irrational hatred towards Mary 2) The too-obviously-CGI flames from the house, and 3) The completely unnecessary slasher-horror scene with the little girl chasing Shannon in the forest.
Those, and the other emotional/irrational responses, decisions and attitudes from the main characters which you wouldn't expect from people who have managed to survive in a world like that for 10 years. And the cannibals' irrational fanaticism when they keep blindly assaulting the house, but I really can't complain about that since it's a direct carry-over from 7S/13th P.
This is the funniest troll-filled thread I've seen on IMDb.
shareI think you mixed "Seven Samurai" with "Snow-White and the Seven Dwarwes".
shareI dont know if its a deliberate troll or not, but the OP has a very high "reply / post" ratio
The only thing he has ever posted on this site (in the message body) is "right?"
It has far more in common with the original 'Assault on Precinct 13' than 'The Seven Samurai'. In fact I think the only similarity to Kurosawa's classic is that there were (originally) seven members of their group.
