Man From Planet X, The (1951)


Atmospheric little science fiction horror film from the early 1950s. I saw the alien in a book of movie horror monsters once, and he looked horrifying. Sadly, he's not nearly as menacing in the film as he is in that picture, but he is still very creepy. Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer whose excellent Black Cat (1934) should have rocketed him to horror director stardom. Unfortunately, he was stuck doing low-budget efforts for pretty much his entire career.

7/10
