This DVD is widescreen and the opening title is in German, but the movie is in English and just beautiful.
The plot of this very rare movie concerns a scientist played by Paul Frees who gets a sample of life from outer space and keeps it in his lab. While he is experimenting with it his ex wife shows up and demands the custody of their son.
After much arguing he agrees only to get her out of his life. His experiment gets out of control and before you know it, a dangerous, spore producing blood rust is loose. The police and scientists try to track down his wife as she has become a carrier of the all consuming blood rust.
There is a very good documentary feeling to this film as the authorities use everything in their power to find the woman and stop the dangerous life form.
It's a great 50's sci-fi film that moves along at a great pace. It was nice to finally see this in widescreen and if you can find a copy like this, then get it and see the film as it was meant to be seen.
The rest of the cast includes Bill Williams, Thomas B. Henry, Lyn Thomas, Moe Howard and Robert Ellis. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
