Reviews:

20 years before Ripley told everyone to shut-up
I dug this one out of the dust bin and was quietly amazed at the simple, yet straight on-target focus of this movie. Yes– Alien borrowed the basic setup from this 1958 setup. And yes– Alien did it BETTER, ICKIER, and SCARIER. But hey, this was 1958!

The script is actually very down to earth and intelligent. The snippets of Sci-Fi Factoids actually made sense for what people popularly knew about Mars back then. The women were still women of that era, but they were intelligent and level headed. No Screaming. No fainting. No Falling down and spraining of slim ankles because of fashionable stiletto heels.

The fact that the movie is B&W is a plus in terms of the monster and the make-up. Let’s face it– in most scary movies, the scariest moment is when the camera is DARK and there is almost no color. Here, the shadows hide that fact that the monster is a guy in a heavy rubber suit. And in 1966, this movie frightened me enough to keep me awake all night.

Fun spots:

1– Guns, LOTS of handguns, Rifles, grenades, crates of ’em– gods, they even got a BAZOOKA! And they’re shooting them all off inside a tin can in Outer Space. Man, they built them thar spaceships like battleships! And they’re ALL good shots because not one single bullet ever sets fire to a VITAL control panel. Wow!

2– The women pour coffee and make sandwiches for the men. Ah. . .Heaven!

If you and your friends are Sci-Fi buff, despite being dated, this ‘B’ Classic is worth a Saturday Night Oldies Flick.

Just ask POLITELY: Girls, can we have some sandwiches?

It has to kill us or starve and we’ve got to kill it or die.
It’s the future, 1973, and the first manned expedition to Mars is marooned. When a rescue team finally reach the stricken ship they find only one survivor – the leader, Col. Edward Carruthers. He claims that an alien life form killed his crew but this is met with scepticism as Carruthers tells the story…

Pretty much forgotten until Ridley Scott’s enormously successful Alien in 1979 caused ripples on account of plot similarity, It! The Terror from Beyond Space now rightfully sits with the best of the sci-fi schlockers from the 50s. Sure it’s hokey and the old man in the rubber suit issue is hardly the work of cinematic genius, but its beating science heart and the claustrophobic construction more than make up for budgetary restrictions. Set on board a classic V-2 vertical type rocket ship, Edward L. Cahn’s film benefits from having Jerome Bixby on pen duties. Bixby’s credentials boasts the likes of Star Trek, The Twilight Zone and Fantastic Voyage, so the writing here was in good hands. For sure it’s not exactly breaking new ground with the basic plot, but it has a little more to offer than what at first seems.

As for the titular creature itself? Well it proudly displays all of the limitations of its bargain basement budget. Played by Ray “Crash” Corrigan, it’s a lumbering, grunting piggy type alien that we get to see too much of during the second half of the movie. However, with Kenneth Peach’s toned down black & white photography at work, the creature remains a potent character as it stalks its prey around the metallic interiors of the ship. The cast are the usual assemblage of “B” movie performers, with Marshall Thompson and Shirley Patterson putting in a good shift. While Grant Whytock in the editing department deserves a mention for keeping the film free of pointless filler.

A taut and creepy little shocker that is a must see for anyone interested in the glorious days of the sci-fi schlocker and creaky creature feature. 8/10
