Description

Aliens use an abbey as a base camp for their mission to destroy the Earth with natural disasters. When Professor Andrew Boran and his wife Sylvia tap into a series of strange signals from space that predict natural disasters on earth, they track the source to a mysterious, remote convent. There, they discover that aliens have cloned the Priest and the nuns and are using the abbey as a base camp for their mission to spur on global destruction. Can the heroes stop the invaders and save the earth? Should they? An early effort from producer Charles Band, 1977's END OF THE WORLD is a moody, bizarre science fiction drama that combines elements of sophisticated genre classics like THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL and the gritty, down-market vibe of 70s exploitation horror films, something that director John Hayes (GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE, GARDEN OF THE DEAD) excelled at. Featuring the iconic Christopher Lee (HORROR OF DRACULA, THE WICKER MAN) in a dual role and elevated by a supporting cast that includes Sue Lyon (LOLITA, CRASH!), Dean Jagger (X THE UNKNOWN, KING CREOLE) and Lew Ayres (BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, SALEM'S LOT), END OF THE WORLD has previously only been available on disc in a muddy transfer struck from video sources. Full Moon recently unearthed a pristine 16mm interpositive of the movie, now remastered in HD and looking better than it's ever looked. END OF THE WORLD is a slice of vintage '70s sci-fi ready to be rediscovered!
