This British 60's sci-fi film starts off well with - the title "The Earth Dies Screaming", I love it and the imagination takes off. Unfortunately what follows is a bit disappointing. For starters no one actually dies screaming, but rather they all die silently, literally. It takes place in the English countryside in a small village focused on a handful of survivors. Large robots lumber around tormenting these folks and dead citizens come back to life in a Zombie like state also wanting to kill the few survivors. Survivors of what you ask, it's never really made clear why the Aliens have arrived and what they hope to achieve, they're just here and we need to get away from them. The acting isn't really all that good either. The chaos, lack of clarity and focus does provide the film with a unique quality that is not completely without merit or entertainment value, but overall The Earth Dies Screaming it fairly weak on mostly for die hard B grade sci-fi films fans.
