In the category of "Christopher Lee gets a paycheck and star billing for a few days work," I give #EndOfTheWorld1977 3 out of 5 stars. He's there for a terrific opening sequence, and roughly the final third. Boy, were we glad to see him. Our heroes needed emoting lessons to sell the disasters happening off screen. At least Lee took the material seriously, no matter how confusing and dull it got. The real star was Sue Lyon's hairdresser. Her hair was sleek and perfect, whether done up in a shiny sphere, or hanging like a frozen waterfall. Never a strand out of place. Except for that one scene where they wanted you to know that shit was getting real because she had schmutz on her face and her hair was a bit windblown. That was a #Monsterdon all right. Thanks @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for hosting. Thanks @cherizilla@hypertext.monster for the Bingo card archive. Thanks @miru@social.miyaku.media for the stream.

Big thanks to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe for this fine example of low-budget 70s film. Not quite horror, not quite sci-fi, Christopher Lee and the Six Nuns carried us through roughly an hour and a half of thin plot and much padding. Much smoking, multiple coffee teases but I don't think anybody ever actually *drank* any coffee. Secret government listening post in an abandoned zoo, just for fun. Death count in the billions, which I guess is something. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977

My theory is this was supposed to be one of those "Five movies fighting for supremacy" deals, but only two of them showed up. #Monsterdon #EndOfTheWorld1977
