Here was a movie which sadly could of been much better, where it's fallen into B grade mire. Of course being a B movie, it just could of been much better, where really it takes the wrong path into dead end territory. The premise is great, just the treatment of it, is terrible. Anderson, again soaking up the screen, not as much in Zandalee, who really doesn't really do much with her role here, is the crazy infatuation of nutter/photographer, and neighbour (Railsback) great as usual, with an underestimated scariness to him. Fate as he so flamboyantly states, brings the two together, where in the city of quakes, another one strikes, separating an injured Anderson's who becomes Railsback's possession. Richly handsome, Worried boyfriend can't get to her, as being on the other side of the 'Cisco bridge, which of course, has yes, collapsed. Railsback is one real reason to watch this, and bit's interesting to see how Anderson's character plays off of him, despite an almost blank chemistry between the two actors, where it's Anderson, who's at fault. But the movie of course, has other problems, which you'll see. The footage, some of it, stock footage, was breathtakingly impressive. No, I was really wowed by this, but this of course, is not what the movie's for, and doesn't excuse the fact, for falling into some B grade movie dreck, where we're left to wallow in Railsback's craziness, with his sexy victim, in a dark dank air for most park. Dick Miller throws a little bit of hope and warmth into this movie. God knows it needs it, the warmth I'm talking about.
