So, I think I have this thing with watching old low-budget sci-fi films. I could spend a whole day watching some of these flicks from the 50's and 60's.
"The Earth dies Screaming" is a UK produced science-fiction film released in 1964. As most of this kind of films it follows a very easygoing storyline; After an alien attack some survivors gather up in a small village in England.
Even though it is a very weak-kneed story is was not as bad as you think. In the Late 50's and 60's production companies, Hammer and Amicus produced a large number of films like this one. "The Earth Dies Screaming is not a Hammer or an Amicus film, but it still captures the same tone and mood as them. This is not a coincidence because of the director, Terence Fisher, has worked on tons of Hammer's films. "Horror of Dracula" (1958) and "The Curse of Frankestein" (1957) is possible his most famous of all of the numerous films he has directed.
Though it was cheesy, it fits in the perfectly right mood of a classic hammer film. With a running time of 62 minuts it is a fun horror/sci-fi film to watch.
