You’re standing right next to the doors, and they’re french doors with glass panes and lightweight curtains. If the person on the other side wants to get in, they will.

#Monsterdon πŸ“… ⏩ βš›οΈ πŸ’£ πŸ’₯ 🧟 πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ 🧌 😱 viewing of 'In the Year 2889' (1969)

Thanks, @Taweret and company. I now know that I can survive apocalyptic movies that involve rain and a complete lack of budget, direction, sound, lighting, acting, decent dialog, plot, etc.

This concludes my thread for , a movie that seemingly did not take place in the year 2889 and is less good than the one song that has kind of a similar title to it but is more catchy.

Thanks to everyone for attending this week's monsterdon!

Well... I suppose the real bomb was the film they made along the way?

I did have fun riffing along with everyone. Thank you for hosting, as always, @Taweret. Have a great week everyone!

#monsterdon Thing is, it could have been good. You could make a really good low budget film about people in country home, surviving after the nukes fall.

Probably someone has made a good version of this story, but it wasn't this one.

The best thing I cam give this movie, is that it has an end.

In the plantation bunker we hear thunder outside, and the rain is supposed to kill us all with radiation for some reason.

Outside, the mutant is carrying the daughter but drops her and then Elvis appears and shoots him, but it doesn't hurt him. The daughter walks into the water and announces that it is afraid of the water so they both go wading.

Later that "night" the daughter hears the eerie soundtrack music and wanders into the woods so a radioactive mutant can kidnap her. John, true to his characterization this movie, tells Elvis to take a gun and shoot his daughter "if there is no only choice" and Elvis dutifully takes the gun and runs off. Then the creepy murder guy sneaks back and steals John's gun, announcing that he's taking over the creepy plantation house.

This old man sleeps a lot.

I'd take his gun and shoot Mickey

Some of these movies rise to the level of "Cinematic Money Laundering Operations” - "It'll fail! // YES, gloriously!”

Hopefully Steve and the dad are unconsciously in love and the breeding thing is their plausible-deniability cover story to avoid homosexual panic so the movie could be about something.

IF YOU HAD just made granger part of your team and like gone out with him and stuff while he goes hunting then you would have had a super strength monster ally instead of SQUANDERING HIM #monsterdon

It's better if we have less characters to focus on

Everyone needs to start having children as soon as possible, but also you will all remain chaste in this house at all times
