Panic in Year Zero! Ratings & Reviews
- Joe KnappJune 28, 2025One of my favorite sci-fi movies from the 60's. There's not much about this movie that require you to suspend disbelief. It's good because you feel it could actually happen. Ray Milland is the strong father figure. He and his son are alpha males protecting the mother and sister. It scared me when I first saw it at age nine. This is sci-fi that doesn't need special effects to make it work.
