Movie Reviews of The Man From Planet X

Movie Review: OOOOH, that's a scary movie.
Summary: 4 Stars

Isn't that what Joe Flaherty used to say on SCTV? Well it sure was when I was nine! When that alien peeked out of the space ship window at my first movie love - Margaret Field, I freaked out. Ms. Field, by the way, is Sally Field's (yup that Sally Field) mother - a little movie trivia I haven't seen reported yet, and another reason to view the movie.

That and it's fun.

Summary of The Man From Planet X

Daring reporter John Lawrence (Robert Clarke) narrates this gripping tale of an alien's attempt to take over a tiny village in Scotland. As the story opens, Lawrence is visiting his old friend, Professor Elliot, who's made the startling discovery of a new planet that is approaching Earth at breakneck speed. Soon Elliot's lovely daughter, Enid, has spotted a mysterious craft in the middle of the moor. Lawrence and Elliot decide to investigate, inexplicably allowing the clearly evil Dr.?Mears to assist. Lost the plot? Not to worry! The Man from Planet?X cheerfully helps slower viewers by offering expository dialogue as frequently as humanly possible. "Look!" says Elliot, "It seems as if he's trying to turn that knob to the right, but doesn't have the strength or coordination," as the alien tries to turn the knob to the right, but doesn't have the strength or coordination. All seems lost as the alien begins using telepathy to control the local villagers. Luckily for the Earth, the alien's superior mind-control powers are not matched with superior common sense--he never bothers to give his slaves such crucial commands as "Don't tell the enemy my entire plan!" or "Let me know if any outsiders show up!" or "By the way, don't follow the commands of anybody but me!" A guaranteed hoot of an evening. --Ali Davis
