It, the Terror from Beyond Space

It, the Terror from Beyond Space
United Artist, 1958, B&W, 69 min.

It is an effective, well produced pre-ALIEN effort about a Martian monster loose on board an Earth-bound spacecraft. A limited budget require the use of stock footage of the spacecraft from Flight to Mars, but the new footage is effective - especially when a brave astronaut is shown walking down the length of the ship in an attempt to get behind the monster. The interior of the rocket is vertically multi-leveled, each level housing a different section, such as control room, lab, crew's quarters and storage. Stairways connect each level which can be sealed off from the other by metal hatches.
