Meanwhile , a marriage formed by a scientist (Kirk Scott) and his wife (Sue Lyon) are investigating weird signals from beyond space , it leads them the convent where are some nuns and the Doppelganger Father Pergado who have malignant objectives .<\/p>\n<p>This laughable below average Sci-Fi deals with an extraterrestrial invasion from outer space formed by aliens plotting to destroy the Earth while disguised as religious figures . It&#8217;s realized in a television style , terribly developed and slowly paced . This is a low-budgeted film and plenty of stock-shots about disasters and catastrophes . Protagonist duo is mediocre as Kirk Scott and the famous \u00a8Lolita\u00a8, Sue Lyon , who had a bad career . Stoic and serious acting by the incombustible Christopher Lee , still today successfully playing , such as \u00a8Dark Shadows\u00a8and \u00a8The Hobbit\u00a8 . Support cast is very good , but really wasted , being featured by experimented veterans in brief interventions such as Dean Jagger as Collins , Lew Ayres as Beckerman and Macdonald Carey . Middling cinematography and electronic musical score by means of synthesizer , being composed by Andrew Belling and Joel Goldsmith , Jerry Goldsmith&#8217;s son . The picture was produced by Charles Band and absurdly directed by John Hayes . John was a writer, director, usually produced and edited as well as often penned the scripts for his films , and occasionally actor who made a wide variety of outlandish and obscure low-budget independent pictures throughout the 60&#8217;s and 70&#8217;s . John made his feature length debut with the interesting 1961 drama &#8220;The Grass Eater.&#8221; Hayes went on to make a diverse array of drive-in exploitation outings in such sub-genres as World War II potboilers (&#8220;Shell Shock,&#8221; &#8220;The Cut-Throats&#8221;), rowdy redneck romps (&#8220;The Farmer&#8217;s Other Daughter,&#8221; &#8220;All the Lovin&#8217; Kinfolk&#8221;), sleazy crime fare (&#8220;Convicts&#8217; Women,&#8221; &#8220;Mama&#8217;s Dirty Girls&#8221;), Terror (&#8220;Dream No Evil,&#8221; &#8220;Tomb of the undead,&#8221; &#8220;Grave of the Vampire&#8221; , \u00a8Garden of dead\u00a8), low-brow comedy (&#8220;Up Yours &#8211; A Rockin&#8217; Comedy&#8221; , \u00a8Five minutes to love\u00a8), Drama (Sweet trash , Fandango) . John pops up in bit parts in the wholesome Disney family features &#8220;The Shaggy D.A.&#8221; and &#8220;Treasure of the Matecumbe.&#8221; His last directing credit was an episode of the horror anthology TV series &#8220;Tales from the Darkside.&#8221; \u00a8. \u00a8The End of the world\u00a8 results to be his only Sci-Fi movie and is considered a bottom of barrel flick . It might be good for a few , for the Christopher Lee hardcore fans .<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After witnessing a man&#8217;s death in a bizarre accident, a coffee machine explodes sending him through a window and into a neon sign where is electrocuted , Father Pergado (Christopher Lee) encounters his alien double bent on world conquest and he then retreats to a convent .
