Typical - you marry the man
of your dreams and he turns out to be some kind of
rubber alien.
Obvious parallels with
The Invasion of the Body Snatchers aside, this looks
like standard 50's B-Movie fare. It serves up the
standard menu of paranoia, dodgy special effects and men
dressed up in funny Martian suits. However, unlike
other 50's B-movies this one is apparently quite good.
Several sources say that
this movie was banned in Finland. I wonder why?
It seems to be fairly harmless. I can only assume
that Finnish Government were all secretly aliens at the
time, and were worried that releasing the film would
teach the population how to see through their disguises.
I Married a Monster from
Outer Space was remade for
television in 1998 as I Married a Monster,
splendidly featuring the lead actors from the original
as an old couple.
Favourite
bit: The lightning-flash-evil-face-reveal, or
LFEFR for short. |
