Queen of Blood (1966)


An alien species makes contact with Earth through radio transmission, notifying of an imminent visit. An alien ship crash lands on Mars, and a rescue team is sent.

Above-average, imaginative sci-fi horror on a low budget makes good use of material from the Soviet science fiction film Nebo Zovyot and inspired all those alien monster loose on the spaceship flicks (including Alien).

Maltin**!/2: "Eerie space opera (utilizing effects footage cribbed from a big-budget Russian film)...Best thing is the bizarre climax, if you can wait that long."
