BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Randy Wilharm I just sat through 90min of this movie & have come to the conclusion that eating broken glass with mayonnaise would be more pleasant.The sluggish, lethargic plot is AWFUL...I wouldn't know where to begin. Lack of realism infests this movie on many levels. The explanations as to why each character survived the atomic holocaust are paltry as well as unscientific.Anytime a movie begins & ends with a biblical quote, beware! The only reason I gave this awful movie 3 out of 10 stars is because it was shot very well, and the sound is good but the story is excruciating.It's a rare movie that needs to stay rare...sorry.

innocuous A bit overwrought and florid, but very enjoyable. Several reviewers pick on it because they seem to think that the characters are walking around in a totally depressed state throughout the movie. I don't see this at all. In fact, I perceive them as incredibly upbeat and positive about their situation, all things considered. One of the aspects of this film that I enjoy the most is the pure villainy of the bad guy. It's rare nowadays to see such an uncompromising and ungrateful jerk written into a script. He's human and believable, but he has no redeeming qualities at all. Also, he accomplishes this without the aid of technology, secret weapons, or even any sort of clever scheming or evil plans.The cinematography is pretty good, with some startling shots and quite a bit of hand-held camera.Finally, and I simply can't pass on this, the title is numerically correct for the majority of the movie. A couple other reviewers have stated that it is incorrect and I'm not sure if they're numerically challenged or what.

Harold Hewitson I saw this movie late one night way-y-y back in the 60's. I was only 7 or 8 and my dad let me stay up to watch it with him. Oh, I watched it, but with my hands over my eyes most of the time. Not a great movie for a little kid! After that one viewing, that was the last, and I do mean, The Last, I've ever heard of this movie. Until I looked it up on IMDb I wasn't even sure I'd actually seen it. It didn't become a cult favourite, nor has it, obviously ever been considered something kitschy. It kind of just fell off the face of the earth until I looked it up today. As a kid? I found it to be haunting. I remember very loud, very eerie, extremely haunting and scary, air raid sirens and lots of skeletons at the beginning. I probably fell asleep after that! Would definitely love to see it again to see if my memory corresponds with the actual film!!

Jerry A. McCoy I thought this was a fascinating and gutsy film made only six years after the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Its almost documentary feel made it most realistic and the script was very intelligently written (per Oboler's radio background). Having toured the structures depicted in the movie that were designed in 1940 by world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright (those were Wright's actual blueprints and architectural model for the house that appeared in the scene of the office that belonged to "Steven Rogers A.I.A." - American Institute of Architects). A suspenseful little movie that one has to wonder how it would have looked had it been directed by the likes of Hitchcock or Welles.
