We close out The Devil Made Me Do It Month with one you may not have expected given the other three titles we covered this month. But, surprisngly, couldn't be more at home with those movies. Peter Hyams' take on the end of the world from 1999 is literally called End b Days. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin Tunney, and Gabriel Byrne (returning this month to seal our fate as The Man) bring their own flavor to a far different look into the Y2K films we've been speaking about all month.
