Reception

One review said, "It may be far from what Nastassja Kinski is capable of, but DAY THE WORLD ENDED is a fine film in its own right. Genuinely creepy and a real find for people who can't decide between psychological terror and popcorn-munching exploitation.".[1] Moria gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars, finding the movie the dullest of the Creature Feature Series.[2]
