About Years of the Beast
A college professor, his wife, a young girl, and a drifter are suddenly faced with a society where money is worthless, food is scarce, your neighbor is your enemy, and oppression reigns. The four must survive a world of earthquakes, natural disasters, looters, corrupt officials, and the Antichrist in power.
Directed by D. Paul Thomas, Years of the Beast leans on a strong ensemble — Gary Bayer, Alana Rader, Malcon McCaiman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1981.
