I Married A Monster From Outer Space, Jun 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: I Married a Monster from Outer Space (DVD)
This little gem from 1958 has always been one of my favorites along with The Monster That Challenged The World and Them! The special effects are typical 50's but still great fun. Maltin gives it 2 1/2 stars and I give it 3 simply because I can salivate an extra half a star just in anticipation of it's release. Oh, by the way my next salivation will come when they release The Incredible Shrinking Man, can't wait.

FUN SCI-FI SHOCKER..., Jun 29 2004
This review is from: I Married a Monster from Outer Space (DVD)
One of the most memorable titles of the 50's sci-fi/horror era is really a good little shocker in it's own right. Gloria Talbott marries Tom Tryon expecting marital bliss. Wrong. He won't make love to her, his behavior is weird, the dog is afraid of him, he disappears at night, etc., and spooky stuff is going on in the woods. It's a small town and some of his friends notice these things too. But then THEY start acting weird, there's a monster zapping people to death and pretty soon no one believes Gloria's concerns. Talbott made some campy films in the 50's but this is one of the better ones. And of course everyone knows that Tryon wrote the classic "The Other" that was made into a wonderful film. So "Monster" is a welcome addition to DVD for fans for many reasons. The monsters are pretty cool for the era and there's a great scene of Tryon standing on a balcony and lightening flashes revealing his true appearance. This is the kind of 50's fun that I wish was more available on DVD. Watch for this one.

Great, creepy, body-snatcher type film., April 21 2004
Like Invaders from Mars, IOTBS, and a few others, about people suddenly starting to act weird for some goddam reason. Turns out to be pods or something else taking over their bodies. Also, in this case, about how, metaphorically, your spouse becomes a stranger after the wedding. WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE ON DVD!?!?!?!?!?!?!
