The Earth Dies Screaming (1964) – Terence Fisher.

Like some toxic shroud, without warning, pitiless annihilation descends upon Great Britain, and the survivors of this alien holocaust are trapped within a deserted Village, increasingly overwhelmed by sinister automatons, and horribly ambulatory corpses! Made with the consummate skill one would expect of Hammer icon Terence Fisher, the superb cast, palpable doomy atmosphere, and pacey, grippingly tense plot, make 60s corker The Earth Dies Screaming a must have title!

From the stark opening up to the rousing finale, master film-maker Fisher never once falters, driving the narrative forward with alacrity, a visually dynamic Sci-thriller with compelling moments of spine-chilling horror! The bleak milieu is chillingly captured in stunning monochrome, Fisher's exciting B-Movie romp is buoyed by credible performances, featuring an especially likeable turn from Willard Parker as the group's more than capable Alpha hero.
