The Man from Planet X (1951)

As a mysterious planet hurls itself toward earth, an enigmatic extraterrestrial scout arrives on a remote Scottish island with unknown intentions.

Very low-budget sci-fi drama has some nice settings and is nicely shot with its foggy Scottish moors, but the alien is quite laughable and the story not suspenseful.

Haliwell (no star): "Early, minor, moderately pleasing fragment in the Close Encounters cycle."

Maltin**1/2: "Extremely cheap, but amtospheric; script is stilted but story is strong and somewhat unusual."
