Christopher Lee's Rare 70s Sci-Fi Thriller | End of the World (1977) | Full Classic Movie
Summary
A 1977 American science fiction film featuring Christopher Lee, made on a small budget and now circulating freely online. It belongs to the wave of low-cost genre pictures that filled drive-ins and late-night television slots in the seventies.
Why it matters
Its interest today is largely as an artefact of how that market worked: a recognisable star attached to a modest production, distributed cheaply, and later surviving through television and now public video platforms long after the theatrical run was forgotten.
