Not of This Earth (1957)



An alien agent from the distant planet Davana is sent to Earth via a high-tech matter transporter. There, he terrorizes Southern California in an attempt to acquire blood for his dying race, the result of a devastating nuclear war.

Although the plot is quite absurd, this sci-fi-horror quickie is made with some originality and good instinct for cinematic scenes; it also has a nice, memorable open ending.

Halliwell**: "Modestly budgeted minor sci-fi; original and competent."

Maltin**1/2: "Above-par low-budget entry...Good supporting cast; great bit by Dick Miller."
