Watched carriers last night, bit of a Stephen Kings Stand alike without the supernatural. Not overly gory but also not a bad film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0806203/

British filmmaker Mick Jackson made a gem of a TV movie with Threads: I thankfully found a bootleg copy of it at Chiller a few years back. The only movie that ever gave me nightmares.

I never forget when Threads was first shown on BBC1 in 1984. I was eleven years old and it shit the life out of me. I bought the DVD a couple of years ago and the film still holds up. I heard there was going to be some 25th anniversary package, dunno what happened with that.

Found this on youtube the other day. The War Game (1965) a BBC mocumentary

Just watched, "Where Have All The People Gone". It's a typical 1970's TV film. In fact, almost feels like a pilot episode? Would love to find out if that was the intention? It's a reasonable watch, but it's strange how the disappearing population isn't quite explained? There's mention of a virus, but it's unclear what part that plays. Anyway, 6/10... ps: You can watch the entire movie on YouTube. See the first post in this thread...

Just bought Logans Run Blu-Ray and "acquired" the series , so a weekend of Logan awaits I don't often run into other folks that know of, let alone, have a copy of the "logans run" tv show. i still watch a couple of eps. of that on a regular basis.

Just watched, "Where Have All The People Gone". Vintage Peter Graves from the 70s, when everything and everyone was pimp! Thanks for the notification on the youtube availability, it's been a while since I ran across this. Then again, did someone else recently mention this, or am I imagining things? It was in a random thread in the media section, right?

I'd been searching for another movie when that one came up, just right for our apocalyptic crew here. I also watched Gargoyles 1972 ( not the cartoon ) with Cornell Wilde, Jennifer Salt and Bernie Casey - The Devil's Rain 1975 ( with Ernest Borgnine as The Devil, pretty fun ) and Satan's Triangle 1975 ( which I'd remembered as a lot scarier when I was a kid, but not so much now ) Next up, I'm chasing down Damnation Alley 1977 with Jan Michael Vincent and George Peppard.

I had high hopes for this one, but found it was just tolerable and was just another one of the "stupid things that stupid people do" during an apocalypse type movie. -- -------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ---------- I'd been searching for another movie when that one came up, just right for our apocalyptic crew here.

Wayne Z Ok, classic 70s horror, now we are talking! I remember seeing Gargoyles when I was a kid and it scared the hell out of me. I don't know if it was the gargoyles slow motion and noises they made, but it was creepy. Scott Glenn is also in it. I know for certain there was a decent remake of the movie in the 90s under another title, but I haven't been able to track that one down. Gargoyles 1972 Damnation Alley is one of most favorite movies and was probably the inspiration for games like Fallout and Fallen Earth. It also has Jackie Earl Haley aka Kelly Leak from Bad News Bears aka Freddy Kruger in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Killa Cockroaches! DamnationAlleyMov's channel has the full movie in 6 parts. There are also a bunch of other scifi gems from the 70s. Don't forget to check out another post-apoc movie called Genesis II. It features Mariette Hartley's double belly buttons and the memorable "stem" weapons. Empire of the Ants with Joan Collins is another good one. I don't remember much about The Devil's Rain except the melty faces. Satan's Triangle doesn't ring a bell at all for me. Another really good horror from the 70s, not necessarily apocalyptic though, is Race with the Devil 1975 with Peter Fonda, Warren Oats and Loretta Swit. Can't seem to find a full version on youtube though. Race with the Devil original trailer

I had high hopes for this one, but found it was just tolerable and was just another one of the "stupid things that stupid people do" during an apocalypse type movie. RE "Carriers", I thought a couple of scenes in it were brilliant though. The father and daughter being left behind was absolutely soul destroying IMHO!
