Earthquake (1974)



Various stories of various people as an earthquake of un-imaginable magnitude hits Los Angeles.

Risible and bad disaster movie, the advertised "Sensurround" sound probably installed to drown out the ridiculous 'special effects'.

On renewed viewing: pretty bad, trashy entertainment.

Halliwell*: "Dreary drama with very variable special effects, gimmicked up by Sensurround. A box-office bonanza."

Maltin BOMB: "...hackneyed disaster epic..."
