Another winner from Mario Bava
Review date: 2008-11-04 Rating: 8 out of 10
Mario Bava's sci-fi flick is about a crew of a space ship that receives a distress call from colleagues trapped on a strange planet. The gravitational pull of the planet plunges the ship to the surface, and it then becomes clear that some kind of life force is active on the planet..
Due to the talent and genious of Bava, a low budget film has never looked so good. The direction is superb and just full of atmosphere and great imagination. There's a constant eerie feel, a really great visual look with amazing colours and there's also very effective suspense throughout.
My personal fave Bava films are "Bay of blood" and "Kill baby kill" but this is very good and recommended to all Bava fans.
