The Earth Dies Screaming
The classic low budget British sci-fi movie
The Earth Dies Screaming is a 1964 British science fiction horror film directed by Terence Fisher, written by Harry Spalding, and starring Willard Parker, Virginia Field and Dennis Price. Human bodies are scattered around an English village, apparently dead in a sudden cataclysm.
This obscure little science fiction/horror film (a British-American co-production) stars Willard Parker as a heroic astronaut who returns from a test flight to discover that most of England has been utterly destroyed by alien invaders, whose armies of killer robots have transformed nearly all of their victims into zombies.
Human bodies are scattered around an English village, apparently dead in a sudden cataclysm. A small group of survivors gather in the local hotel bar, led by an American jet test pilot, Jeff Nolan. It appears a mysterious gas attack has killed off most of the Earth’s population. Figures in space suits appear in the streets; Vi Courtland thinks they have come to rescue them but they turn and kill her with their touch. Several of these bulletproof killers stalk the streets. The remaining group goes to a local Territorial Army drill hall to look for weapons. The group members arm themselves and struggle for survival against the invaders in what is the first step in an alien invasion.
