TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

dougdoepke Lippert was a long time low-budget outfit in the US. Here, they went to England, probably because exchange rates got them bigger bang for the buck. Still, it's a minimal cast with minimal special effects—two robots lumbering around and about as scary as a hunk of junk. Seems the people in a rural section of England have died all at once, except for those protected from the ambient air. But the half-dozen survivors have to contend with alien robots who appear to be taking over, along with some of the zombified dead behind ping-pong eyes.It's a pretty good look at the English countryside. At the same time, the acting sort of comes and goes, though Parker makes a convincing leader of the survivors. Plus, the cast is hardly a collection of Hollywood glamour types, so realism wins out over eye candy. There's some suspense as we wonder what's behind the robots and the big die-off. But unhappily there's no tension nor any really scary moments. Too bad too that special effects didn't come up with better zombie eyes and maybe a couple of nasty moments that would have upped the scare factor. Anyway, the cheezy title is misleading since I never heard a single scream. I guess my biggest reaction is what Roger (drive-in) Corman would have done with the same material. Surely the movie wouldn't have been as civilized, but would certainly have been more fun.

henri sauvage Okay variation on the "What Happened to Everybody?" sf genre. Though it loses steam about two-thirds of the way through, it starts off well enough, creating a fairly eerie and desolate atmosphere as a small group of survivors copes with the usual issues, after a mysterious event has killed off most of the human race.The actors are competent enough, although Dennis Price is sadly wasted in his role as "Taggart", the obligatory rotter. (Am I the only one who thinks of Slim Pickens and "Blazing Saddles" whenever I hear that surname?) As always, the aliens -- actually, they're robots who for some inexplicable reason wear spacesuits, complete with backpacks and helmets -- have an easily exploitable Achilles heel. Their ability to revive the dead as mindless zombies is rather creepy, though how the zombies are supposed to see where they're going when their eyes have supposedly "turned to gray goo" is a bit hard to fathom. (Those contacts look really uncomfortable.) Worth a look, though it's not up to Terence Fisher's usual standard.

Hitchcoc This plot was done numerous times, where a group of every day people find themselves the last survivors of some sort of invasion. In this case, they were hidden away somewhere through some circumstance (one is a test pilot). Anyway, they find each other among a mass of bodies on the streets of a little town in England. They begin trying to figure out what to do, but have some trouble listening to one another. It turns out there are space men out there in typical garb for their stereotypical sixties roots. They have the ability to touch people and kill them (later they turn into zombies). One of them is more enterprising than the others and the way this finally concludes is a bit much. But it keeps one's attention for a B scifi movie.

jvance83 As a 10 year old, I saw this with my friends as a Saturday matinée at the local theater and it nailed my sci-fi preferences right on the head. We played this one out in the neighborhood in numerous scenarios having a deliciously creepy time dealing with "the guys with the globby eyes", whom we found preferable to the robots as scare factors. I ran across a pirate-copy DVD on-line a couple of years back and couldn't resist. Not surprisingly, the DVD quality stank, but the movie held up remarkably well. It would certainly earn no awards for excellence in any category, but carried a remarkably good atmosphere, particularly the scenes at the village inn. If I could find a better copy, I would most definitely make the investment.
