End Of The World (1977)

Poverty row sci-fi courtesy of schlockmeister producer Charles Band (GHOULIES, PARASITE) is about a group of aliens stranded on Earth who must rebuild their space travel machine and get back to their planet before the Earth is destroyed by their galaxy. The aliens inhabit human form as a priest and a group of nuns at a small convent. Top billed Christopher Lee is the alien/priest but the stars of the film are really the scientist (Kirk Scott) and his wife (Sue Lyon) who uncover the nefarious plot. It’s a dingy looking film that betrays its low budget and when the end of the world comes, it’s courtesy of stock footage we’ve seen a million times before. The actresses playing nuns are well cast though with creepy, character faces. Also starring Lew Ayres, Dean Jagger and Macdonald Carey. The cheesy synth score is courtesy of Joel Goldsmith, Jerry’s son.
