This is nightmare quality stuff shot on a small stage and photograped very effectively by director William Cameron Menzies. The color is deep and saturated and the Martians are something to behold in their green velour outfits all running thru tunnels in an endlaess cave and controlled by a golden head with an enlarged brain kept in a glass container.
Jimmy Hunt is the young boy, Arthur Franz is the astronomer who believe his story and sexy helena Carter is a doctor who also believes Jimmy's tale. For pur 50's pulp this simply cannot be beaten. The disc features both the US and British version of the story which has a very different ending. Very Highly Recommended!!For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre. THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO BOB WILKINS, GEORGE ROMERO, ALAN FREED ,ROGER CORMAN, CAROLINE MUNRO, JOHN FREDRIKSEN, JOHN ZACHERLE, CLEO MOORE , ROSALBA NERI, ERIKA BLANC, FEMI BENUSSI, SHIRLEY CORRIGAN, ROSANNA YANNI, MIRTA MILLER and, of course, CASEY KASEM.
