We live in truly odd times, so why not ride the wave and tack on some additional existential dread with cinema's various takes on the end of the world. From the calm, grim acceptance of On the Beach to the shrieking takeover of Invasion of the Body Snatchers to the playful road trip in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (pictured), we all handle oblivion a little differently.
Directed by Charles Band
Sci-Fi Action - Rated PG13 - 85 Minutes - 1985
When a time-traveling commando from 2247 arrives for Christmas 1985, he's not looking for milk and cookies. No, the awesomely-named Jack Deth is on the hunt for fugitives from the future, which leads to a violent confrontation with a mall Santa who isn't what he appears to be, while Helen Hunt looks on in an elf costume. Trancers spawned a franchise, with six(!) sequels.
