END OF THE WORLD(1977)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
The last film in this 100 "cult classic" set!
This has the great Christopher Lee(so many
great movies and roles: Sherlock Holmes &
Dracula, Star Wars Episodes II & III as
well as Lord Of The Rings & The Hobbit)!
The story: a man intercepts a message to
and from Earth from space that warns of
impending global geological occurances!
He decides to find out what's going on,
and finds visitors "Not Of This Earth"!
This had a great premise, great story line
and of course the great Christopher Lee, but
it had poor production, which in itself isn't
a movie killer! But here it was! Slow, plodding
and way too dark throughout! Too bad, I think
this could have been so much better! C
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I rented this movie as part of the mini-series
"cult video", hoping for as much fun as I had
with "Laserblast" or "creepozoids" that are
also part of the edition. Unfortunately, this
movie cannot keep up with those gems. Even
though it is stupid enough, it is all in all
just boring, and moments of fun (like the
seconds where the "true face" of the aliens
is shown) are too rare to make it up. I have
to say, however, that the concept of destroying
the whole earth is somewhat audacious, and
the movie even delivers one scene of odd true
horror, that is when the couple watches the
end of the world (earthquakes, inundations)
on some TV screens like from the
distance ... - rolandbrilla
