Terrore nello spazio (1965)


A spaceship strands at a faraway planet where aliens await them to take over their bodies in order to secure their existence.

This movie is one my fondest childhood memories, it impressed me incredibly. The style is very unusual, and there's a completely unexpected downbeat ending. A classic! By the way, you can easily see that Ridley Scott's Alien was inspired by this movie.

On renewed viewing: Still mesmerizing, a stylish sci-fi classic, every shot a fully realized piece of art.

Halliwell**1/2: "Eerily photographed, atmospheric science-fantasy..."

Michael Weldon/Psychotronic: "Most Italian science-fiction movies are as exciting to watch as a blank screen. Here's an exception."
