Its not a horror movie by any means, but like a good horror movie it has images and tiny loose ends that make sense on a subconscious level.

I theme and style, Aldrichs apocalyptic film noir is an eccentric work, in many ways ahead of its times.

The film gets a rather odd video tribute from director Alex Cox, who made an homage to its great whatsit in his cult favorite Repo Man (1984).

The brutality of the films characters and its scenario are shocking enough today, but in 1955, they were gobsmacking.

Kiss Me Deadly was so far out there that it is usually viewed as an end point to the classic film noir cycle.
Movie Metropolis

Though Hammer is presented here as a modern day Pandora, its less disturbing that he finds evil than that he doesnt have to look very far to find it.

On Dangerous Ground remains a wonderful idea for a movie that doesnt quite exist.
