The Quiet Earth
1985 · TMDB 6.6
Directed by Geoff Murphy
After a top-secret experiment misfires, a scientist may be the only man left alive in the world.
Why it matters
A scientist wakes to find himself seemingly the last person on Earth, and his slow exploration of an empty New Zealand is both eerie and meditative. The film's final shot is one of the genre's great enigmas.
