Crack in the World

(Andrew Marton/1965/USA) 

Crackpot sixties disaster flick about how Science wants to drill a hole to the earth’s core for a poke around but they hit a blockage of some sort so one Science Guy says blow it up nuclear stylee and another Science Guy says woah that’s going to be bad fam. So they blow it up and bad fam Science Guy was right and things get hairy and fuck me a bit of the earth falls off and becomes a second moon. Delightful and dated but builds to a good action packed ending with genuinely riveting final scenes which look like they might have inspired the final shots of THX1138. If, like me, you enjoy a disaster flick this is a good one. Plenty of googly eyes staring left to right in a wtf way throughout too.

(3/5)
