The Day the World Ended is a rather creepy B-movie from Roger Corman. I believe it was the first of many sci-fi movies he was responsible for. He did a good job with this one.
Paul Birch, his daughter and her boyfriend Richard Denning (The Creature From the Black Lagoon) are joined by an odd assortment of people in a small pocket that is still radiation free after a nuclear war. As time passes, they are gradually killed off one way or another, leaving two to start a new life.
The monster in this movie looks rubbery but rather frightening. The stars all take good parts and the music score is rather eeire.
This was released on video in Britain as part of the Drive-in Classics series which is long out of print. I was quite lucky to get hold of a copy.
This movie is a must see for 1950's sci-fi fans and I enjoyed it very much, despite the low budget.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
