Directed by horror master Terence Fisher this black and white cult classic finally gets a Region 2 UK release

The Earth Dies Screaming opens with a frightening series of disastrous accidents, a train crash, multiple car crashes, a plane crash and ordinary people dropping dead in the streets.Hundreds, thousands, millions of casualties and not a single word of dialog has even been spoken yet! Aliens have invaded on a world wide scale! A small handful of survivors gather together in a remote rural English town to battle the Alien robots. On contact with the robots humans are transformed into rampaging zombies

With its haunting score and general creepiness this is a lesson of cinematographic economy and atmospheric invention worthy of this subversive and very talented director
