Arkoff for American Releasing Corporation. This is the 1993 Columbia TriStar Home Video release (catalogue no. 60898), presented in black and white with VHS Hi-Fi audio.

The film follows a retired sea captain who has built a refuge in a naturally protected valley, stocked for nuclear survival. As atomic fallout settles, strangers wander into the valley — including a geologist, a gangster, and a gold prospector — and one survivor begins to undergo terrifying mutations from radiation exposure. A cult classic of 1950s post-apocalyptic horror and a key early Roger Corman title.
