anyway, saw “no blade of grass” (1970) last night on criterion, part of a 70s sci-fi program they put together

ham-handed, poorly acted, now obsolete in various ways, but both convincing (for me anyway) and schlockily entertaining, yeah. loved the way they dealt with technical limitations via freeze frames, montages, and color effects. sometimes a bit too gory (because pictures of actual starving children are truly disturbing. but they had a point. but it’s still fucked up.)

it’s the walking dead before the walking dead. well, night of the living dead was made before this, but storywise this is more of an aftermath, sort of. more like mad max maybe? but mad max is in the program later.

decent-terrible b movie. good for late night and lols.
