| It! The Terror from Beyond Space |
In the far-off future of 1973, the planet Earth has lost contact with
it's first manned expedition to Mars. A second expedition to Mars finds
one lone survivor, with the rest of his crew dead. His story of being
attacked by a creature on Mars is not believed, he is accused of
murder,and he is being brought back to Earth to face a court-martial and
then the firing squad. But then, the crew of the second ship starts
being attacked, and they discover that the creature from Mars is real,
and they are all trapped with it aboard their ship.

| Take That, You Filthy Alien! |
This is a fun little b-movie sci-fi monster pic. It's nothing special,
but it packs a lot of entertainment value into it's 1 hour and 9 minute
running time. It basically has one set, which it redresses with various
accoutrements to make it look like multiple levels of a spaceship, but
it does so effectively. The monster is just a guy in a really cheesy
rubber suit, and the exterior of the spaceship is an obvious scale
model, but that's par for the course for b-movie 1950's sci-fi, and is
kind of part of the fun. It is mostly remembered today as a possible
inspiration for the 1979 film Alien.
