They Came from Beyond Space

Actors: Robert Hutton, Jennifer Jayne, Zia Mohyeddin, Bernard Kay, Michael Gough, Geoffrey Wallace
Rating: 3 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films actually wasn’t that bad, especially compared to it predecessors in this process. This is a British 1960s sci fi film about aliens taking over the minds of the scientists sent to investigate a strange meteor fall. A typically brash American is the only one not infected and he wages a somewhat flawed campaign against the aliens. The aliens are working to set up a daily commuter run to their base on the moon using a plague stricken human slave force. Although patentedly silly throughout, the movie takes off in unintentional comedy when we meet the Master of the Moon (his actual title). You know he’s evil because he’s wearing a cape.

MVP: Zia Mohyeddin as Farge
