Parker manages to rally together a small resistance army from a few scattered survivors in outlying villages, and they eventually find the earth-based relay point for the transmissions which have enabled the invaders to coordinate the robot attack by remote control. Although entertaining overall, the story lags after a thrilling first half, with the final battle hampered by budget limitations. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

    This Movie is from the MGM Midnite Movie Collection. Its a Film from 1964 and in Black & White, The film is full of washed up and what appears to be wino actors and actress at the low points of the careers put together to make a some what decent film.

Who is the driving force. The kind of movie shown at a drive in that would make little kids look up at the sky the whole way home. Its worth 3 1/2 stars

    Pretty thin on story but Terence Fisher does his best to make a good film out of it. This one had to of had some kind of influence on Romero and Russo when they wrote Night Of The Living Dead together. The Earth Dies Screaming has some truly great and creepy moments and does a fi... read morene job delivering an apocalyptic feel. Lots of dead scattered bodies fill the streets. And some of the best moments come when the Alien robots are on patrol. The reanimated dead look creepy as hell with their bulging gray eyes! There never is a real explanation for their visit, but then again why do we always feel there should be one!? This is a fine film and it definatly made for a good late evening Autumn movie!
