Devil Girl From Mars

2010.01.16
Oh, if I'd known it was going to be this fabulous I wouldn't have waited 2 months after receiving it from Netflix to watch it.

Nyah, the powerful but weirdly petulant Martian, sent here to capture Earthmen for a breeding program! At one point she says "You talk like a primitive savage," which I think I'm going to start saying too now.

Her robot, which for some reason is named "Johnny." I like that it looks like a primitive piece of hi-fi equipment.

Albert enters the spaceship! Will he save the world?

And isn't this shot of the departing ceiling fixture - er, I mean spaceship - brilliant? Just superb.

I am going to make it my life's work to see every 1950's British sci-fi film that's ever been made; ok, Shakespeare it isn't but design-wise they're brilliant.
