| CinePassionFernando F. CroceSketched lucidly as noir chamber piece and Old Testament parable |
| User ReviewAj VYeah like every Roger Corman Movie this is a Burner A Post Nuclear World in which the Radioactivity let the Creatues overstep Millions of Years of Evolution and the Monster is real funny defently one of my Favourite Movies |
| User ReviewJayden CGreat early Corman with another cool Blaisdel monster. |
| User ReviewWK JWhen even Mannix is a bad guy, you know civilization has truly broken down. |
| User ReviewShawn RFor what it is, not bad at all. A 50s B-movie about the dangers of nuclear annihilation, 'Day' is an interesting mix of typical Hollywood melodrama with hideous creature feature. The acting: terrible, the dialogue: terrible, the film-making: pretty much terrible. But it doesn't matter because 'Day' manages to amuse and horrify despite itself. The musings about a poisoned planet and the annihilation of the human race strike home. These films are laudatory for the attention they call to the dangers of technological rationality, although I could do without the religious subtext. "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is much better, but I enjoyed this film. |
| User Reviewtp bIf you like "after the nuclear war"... and typical monsters from the 50's this is quite alright! |
| User ReviewZachary MMovies about disease, war, and nuclear fallout destroying the world is and then having to survive in the aftermath is nothing new. This is one of the first of its kind to my mind, and while interesting, time has brought us much more memorable of the types of films to make this one more or less forgettable. Still worth a watch if you love classic scifi and have a love of these kind of movies. |
| User ReviewKevin RThe film has a very high cheese quotient, but the mutant antagonist has a charmingly silly design, and Corman does manage to create a distinctly apocalyptic feeling (despite the picture's obvious low budget). |
| User ReviewJesse RRoger Corman directs this film where a small group of people struggle to survive in a house while radio active mutants are closing in on them. Well, one radio active mutant. The movie is boring. |
| User ReviewChris .Cheesy 50's monster flick of the kind Roger Corman became known for. The monster is not revealed until over an hour into the movie, but I honestly laughed out loud upon seeing it. A point for actually trying with the characters, though. |
