I'm not inheritantly against a movie containing a lot of dialogue, but this film is ridiculous. Seven nuclear fall out survivors all miraculously show up at a house spared by the devastation because of surrounding hills. Once everyone has settled in they talk and talk and talk...... And well, nothing much ever happens. I understand people having memories of watching this film as a child, or whatever, but that doesn't make this a good movie. The technical and make up FX are spaced so far apart, they're almost no existent. And as far as excessive dialogue in a film, at least write in a way that keeps viewers interested: The dialogue is simply stilted and uninteresting. I guess if you saw this in a theatre on a Saturday afternoon when you were twelve you might have fond memories of it. Otherwise, I don't for the life of me understand what the appeal of this film is besides it being made by Corman.
