this is a decent, and great looking movie, but like almost all Italian
movies, it tends to drag a bit. even at 87 minutes!
two spaceships crash on an unknown planet. apparently it is
uninhabited. the crew of the first ship to land is dead, apparently
having killed themselves. one by one the other ship's crew is killed
off, by bodiless aliens wanting to take over their bodies.
the ending is a twist, i am sure back then especially. now, not so
much, but a surprise for sure in the 60s.
like i said, this movie is great looking. the DVD is good as well,
but only has the AIP dubbed audio (fine with me). it comes with the
trailer for the US though, if nothing else. i've heard there are
other versions on DVD out there.
this movie is cited as a precursor to ALIEN, but aside from a few sets
and shots, the story isn't nearly the same. still, it's fun to watch,
and see real sets and miniatures. the colors make it all look great,
that's for sure, way better than the budget that it had. no surprise, since Mario Bava (the director) started out in that area of filmmaking.
