Ib Melchior directed this nifty sci-fi film about an expedition to the Red Planet which ends in isaster for all involved.
Gerald Mohr, Les Tremayne, Jack Kruschen and Nora Hayden are the four people sent to investigate and explore Mars. Once they land they find the martian landscape very odd looking and hostile.
They fight living plants, a huge bat-rat-spider monster and are spied upon by a bizarre looking three eyed Martian who is watching their every move. When they find a city across a lake and make an attempt to reach it they are attacked by an enormous amoeba that eats one of the crew members.
Nora and Gerald survive the trip and when they get back to earth they find a tape on the ship with a recorded warning from Mars telling them never to return.
I like this film a lot. The "Cinemagic" effects that make Mars look odd are pretty cool, and the monsters are very good, at least I think so.. If you haven't seen this I recommend you do so.
