THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED

A psychologist gets a job as a consultant in a school in a small American provincial town. Here she quickly befriends a child and finds herself, unwillingly, involved in the clash between an alien monster thirsty for revenge and the evil forces of the village where she works... Another film in the "Features Creatures" series ("Creature of Chill") produced by special effects wizard Stan Winston. The clear parallel is with a certain type of 1960s science fiction films, but also with episodes of series like "The Outer Limits" and similar. Overall, the film works quite well: discreet actors (in the cast also a good Natassja Kinski), as usual excellent special effects and it even lacks some relatively strong sequences, especially considering that it is a television-made product. As already happened in "She, the Creature", this film also gets lost a bit due to the excessively slow, too "television-like" pace, but the final result remains appreciable.
