For our special Post-apocalyptic night we have a special screening of New Zealand 1975 cult classic The Quiet Earth.
Zac Hobson rises one morning, and finds that he is apparently the last man on Earth; a government project Zac was working on went haywire, killing nearly everyone in the process. The landscape, however, remains unsullied. Zac at first enjoys the fruits of being Earth’s sole tenant, after all, but soon discovers two other humans struggling to survive in this empty world. The Quiet Earth is a cult classic. There’s not a moment of schlock or goofiness, and its topic is just as prescient today.
As a short trailer we have a classic episode from Rod Sterling’s TV series The Twilight Zone. Henry Bemis (Burgess Meredith) is a bookish bank teller who
has a childlike fascination for the written word. He is consistently harassed by his wife, customers and boss for his love of print to the point that he must sneak into the bank’s vault where he works to read on his lunch hour. During one such visit, a nuclear bomb blast levels his city, leaving him unscathed, whereupon he exits to find that he has “time enough at last” to read all he wants.
