director Terence Fisher is a well known and appreciated in the UK for cutting movies Horror / Fantasy / Science Fiction, nearly 30 under his belt where he never lost regularly (the critics point to as was stable), and that while for films before, grew its importance because it was embraced by the legendary Hammer. This film is considered a weak point in his career which went ahead but not at the same level as his earlier, that just goes out of Hammer (though a few years back), the low budget and limited resources. I have not seen many movies of him to compare, only three: The phantom of the opera, The Curse of Frankenstein and The Hound of the Baskervilles, which itself , surpass it in all its aspects ( without comparing the genre and topic as they are very different) ... so we can estimate that perhaps yes, "the criticism "is right.
The earth dies screaming account of the attempt to dominate the human race than they seem beings from outer space, anthropomorphic robots in astronaut suits, the weapon used against the human is the human self They touching a person immersed in a catatonic state similar to death after which zombies reanimate murderers. The perspective we have is from a group of survivors led by a pilot / American military (very full, with expertise in physics, medicine, strategist, and other things ... and other full of humility, his personality:-S), which after doing some Air tests back to earth to find it deserted, silent and full of corpses. Puzzled by what he sees out in search of others and yes, is gradually to form a compact group which will try to survive the threat and fight it. A very nice start to show us the collapse of human order in rural England, derailed trains, cars crash, people just death, apparently due to a gas. It is attractive to see these most desolate places that remind other zombie movies are reminiscent of films post-apocalyptic science fiction of the sixties (eg, Panic in Year Zero! Ray Milland 1962) in where we depict the partial extermination of human beings.
The characters are very entrenched in their role each is seeking to have a diverse, intelligent and wise leader, the antagonist within the same group, the helpless woman and a more capable, those that are unnecessary I will die in an act of stupidity or are to bring comic (the loose group), the reckless but loyal ... etc. Very overreacted and stereotypical but I think you are fine, is part of the beginning in the Zombie this topic of interpersonal relationships to the chaos of the living dead.: The existence of a group, how it is organized, has its internal conflicts and fight together for survival in spite of their differences. Again the predominance of Science Fiction, and the undead in the service of other-worldly beings (to use what makes Ed Wood Plan 9 from outer space ), although the specific nature of these zombies is that a shot at body itself can stop them (which revives the theory that may not be dead.)
few scenarios, two outdoors and two indoors, the characters too and despite the budget is "decent", this is due to black and white (go, how to help these films, since Color are super cheesy). Decent, with some good moments (the beginning I really liked), but lower in the filmography of director, a development that made me very slow to me (honestly bored me), and if it were not for the contribution made to zombie topic (this group) may go unnoticed.
Hopefully in the future have the time of throwing a deep insight into the director.
