Synopsis: An exploratory trip to Mars ends up with only one survivor. Another team is sent to rescue this man and send him to court-martial for the murder of the rest of his crew. He claims to be innocent and that some alien creature killed those persons. That creature enters the rescue ship and, during the trip back to Earth, continues its killing spree.
Appraisal: This is one of those films so demented that a certain surreal quality somehow transpires from them. To put it another way, the earnestness, conviction and energy with which its mechanical plot is conveyed gives it a certain amount of attractiveness despite its inherent silliness and the conspicuous poverty of its sets, costumes and effects. It was remade as Queen of Blood (1966), which I haven't seen; the concept of a monster in a spaceship was used again in Alien (1979).
