End of the World - 1977

 Oof.  This was a tough one.

You know its bad when you finish a movie, go on the IMDb or Wikipedia and read the plot and think to yourself "was that what this movie is about?"  Sometimes with the longer plot outlines, you're sorta like, "yeah I vaguely remember that idea or this moment," but then the how and why of it you're like fucking shrug city.

I do remember Christopher Lee as a dependable villain, the evil father Pergado who is leading a convent of nuns and is maybe hiding something.  Perhaps one of the reasons I don't remember much of this movie is because in the first hour, fucking nothing happens.  This is Setup: The Movie.  That's this one's alternate title.  

They had a lot to lead up to also, cause spoiler alert in the end Christopher Lee turns into a weird fish looking alien and the entire world explodes!  Badass!

This movie was remarkably boring, however, and I cannot give it more than 1.5 stars.
