फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
This is a great movie. I stumbled upon it in my quest to see all of the "1950's SciFi" movies. I was also drawn to it since the great Terence Fisher directed it.
The plot about a group of people trying to come to terms with an alien invasion has been done before and done since however for what ever reason this film just plays out fantastically well.
Certainly its no better or worse than many other films in the genre, but during the 60 odd minutes that it unspools it holds with rapt attention, something that many other supposedly better films fail to do.
I know that once seen it may fall from memory but while it may not remain foremost in your brain it will forever spring up when you see the title with a "Hey that was a really good film".
If you can see it, preferably late at night with all of the lights off.

I taped The Earth Dies Screaming when Channel 4 screened it some years ago, but, unfortunately I never saw the last five or 10 minutes as the tape ran out. It hasn't been on again since nor has it been released on VHS or DVD.
Aliens have invaded the UK and killer robots are reviving dead humans as zombies and the few survivors have to try and stop them.
The thing I remember most about this movie are the scenes of the robots slowly walking through the rural village. Very eerie.
The cast includes Willard Parker, Dennis Price, Virginia Field and Hammer and sci-fi regular Thorley Walters (Frankenstein Created Woman, The People That Time Forgot).
It would be nice to see The Earth Dies Screraming again, especially the ending. Come on Channel 4 or any other channel, let's have it on again.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.

I watched this movie late on cable and enjoyed every minute. It had all the ingredients of a classic B Movie. Aliens,Zombies,Quaint english village,Survivors of an environmental disaster,Hapless females,and dodgy acting. You have to love the old B Movies to really enjoy this film.
A warm-up by director Fisher for his "Island of Terror"(66) and "Night of the Big Heat"(67), this is a template for alien invasion pictures: there's a small group of survivors (in rural England) and marauding invaders, here in the form of slow-moving robots. Since the invaders never do move beyond a slow walk, they never seem to pose a serious threat unless you happen to run right up to them (which one of the characters does indeed do). Then they zap you with a touch of their cold hand and you eventually turn into a controlled zombie. It sounds a bit silly, but the film manages to convey an eeriness to the whole setting. Maybe because it's in black & white, it also reminded me a bit of "Night of the Living Dead"(68). The sense of isolation and the threat are very similar.
What sets this above other sci-fi films of the fifties & sixties is the lack of clunky, melodramatic dialog. The intent by the filmmakers and actors is that this is really happening. The survivors are an average group of citizens, caught in a traumatic situation. None of them are prepared or trained for something like this. There's always that one troublemaker in the group, of course, brandishing a revolver and behaving like an ass. But the story needs that extra tension to make it more interesting. It's low budget, but they didn't really need a lot of money to show empty streets or just several bodies littering the landscape. This one, though, really begs to be remade with a decent budget, as a full throttle invasion story. A similar Americanized version was the earlier "Target Earth"(1954).

The lurid title is misleading, since a sleepy little village simply gets sleepier in this quickie retread of 'Village of the Damned' and 'The Day of the Triffids' which strikingly anticipates 'The Night of the Living Dead' with added robots.
Like Romero's later classic a small group of people take cover in a quiet rural area (here played by the village of Shere in Surrey) which provides an incongruously picturesque backdrop to an infestation of zombies; and like the later film is cleanly shot in black & white and with an atmospher scored by the celebrated composer Elizabeth Lutyens.

Peggy Hatton: Do you know what's happened?
Jeff Nolan: No I don't. I took a plane up this morning for a shakedown flight and when I went up everything was normal. When I came down, everyone was dead. I drove all day. You're the first folks I've seen alive.
