Day the World Ended Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnMay 23, 2025
    One of the first zombie stories. In "Day the World Ended," people are turned into flesh-eating monsters by the atomic bomb. With only a handful of people left, they fight each other and the monsters. More than one modern film is built around this plot line. It's a low-budget horror movie from the 50's, so don't expect any good effects.
