    • Trivia
      The village featured is Shere in Surrey. It has hardly changed at all, including the square near the pub and the shop where he acquires the radio.
    • Goofs
      When Jeff Nolan first arrives at the village he takes out what appears to be a bolt action Enfield P14 / M17 rifle, later in the film this turns into a semi automatic 30-06 Garand rifle.
    • Quotes

      Peggy Hatton: Do you know what's happened?

      Jeff Nolan: No I don't. I took a plane up this morning for a shakedown flight and when I went up everything was normal. When I came down, everyone was dead. I drove all day. You're the first folks I've seen alive.

    Starts off well, but ends up being disappointing
    The first few minutes of "The Earth Dies Screaming" are very promising. There is an eerie silence showing how most of humanity has been wiped out, right at the beginning. (It also helps that the movie was shot in black and white - I find apocalypse movies that have been shot in black and white more effective than those shot in color.) As the characters are introduced, they are promised to be a colorful bunch.

    But after this promising beginning, the movie starts to fall apart. We never learn why the invaders attacked Earth, nor do we learn much about them. In fact, the robots are treated very casually at times by the characters! In fact, the movie feels too casual elsewhere; although this is a '60s movie, it feels more like one of those innocent '50s sci-fi movies; there is a dated feel to this movie. The ending feels unfinished; since the movie runs only about an hour, surely they could have come up with a more concrete ending had they extended things.

    It's not a TERRIBLE movie, but it's disappointing - you'll see the wasted potential.
