Description

The first manned spacecraft, fired from an English launchpad, is first lost from radar, then roars back to Earth and crashes in a farmer's field, and is found to contain only one of the three men who took off in it; and he is unable to talk but appears to be undergoing a torturous physical and mental metamorphosis.

    American scientist Brain Donlevy sends a rocket with three men into space; it comes back with only one and he is very, very sick. What happened to the other two - the ship was hermetically sealed? Well this decent British sci-fi/horror film follows the investigation as together with police officer Jack Warner they try to get to the bottom of things. Meantime, the sole survivor of the exploratory flight goes awol and we discover an alien creature is now on the loose on post war London and it is hungry! It's now race against time to stop it reproducing and taking over the world - and who better than our intrepid team to track it down and destroy it. This has been done on a pretty basic budget; but is well written and directed with a creative approach to the cinematography that rewards the viewer with a much less stilted single-scene style of presentation than many British efforts of the mid 1950s - and it has two strong performances to keep the pot boiling.
