★★★★ · The Atomic Terror Follies · picfixer · 2015-12-28

The film that launched Hazlet, New Jersey's billion-dollar movie industry. Okay that's a slight exggerataion, but there's no doubt it marks a milestone in the dark annals of red scare schlock. The plot is utterly senseless, the direction inept and the production values Ed Woodian. There's informative dialog like this: "Cover yourself with wet newspaper until the blast has subsided." Don't ask about the acting. A jaw-dropper that makes "Invasion USA" look good in comparison and a must-see for all bad movie devotees. Thanks for uploading. It was the missing piece for a project I've had in mind.…

But boy, the ending is great! No spoilers, but hang in or jump to the last five minutes. The closer is terrrifically corny!
