Wonderfully cheesy 50s end-of-the-world horror/sci-fi brought to us by producer and director Roger Corman. While not 100% accurate does show perhaps the fears and/or interests of the time in the 1950s and may be best to be viewed in that lens rather than a modern end of the world film.
The setting of the film is the world after a huge nuclear war. A man named Jim Maddison (Paul Birch) and his daughter Louise (Lori Nelson, who looks like a young Faye Dunaway to me) are in their house in a valley protected against the nuclear fallout. Five other people (including geologist Rick played by Richard Denning and hood Tony Lamont played by Mike Connors) come to the house in search of protection. In no time fights start happening mostly due to Tony. They try and live together and survive the aftermath of the atomic war. Little do they know a new species due to the atomic war is outside their home. An alright little 50s horror/sci-fi that unfortunately does run out of a little steam along the way.
