THE TEN MOST UNDERRATED SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES OF ALL TIME

#7


I have been active in the Science Fiction field for over 50 years. In that time I have read many books and seen countless movies. My favorite SF movies of all time are probably Blade Runner and 2001. These were popular movies, but there were many more that I liked that did not receive much attention at the time. I was paging through Amazon used movies on DVD and saw one of my favorites- Puppet Masters- for only nine cents (plus postage)! When I found that great movies are available for such cheap prices, I decided to publish my personal list of underrated movies.I have provided a link so you can purchase these from Amazon. The link is to a new DVD. On the same page there are usually used copies available at greatly reduced prices- a necessity in these lean times.

Description:


With its modest special effects, lean plot, and small cast of lesser stars, this 1951 thriller remains a sturdy blueprint for fusing horror and science fiction. The formula has been employed countless times since, fleshed out with more extensive and elaborate production values, and manned by higher profiled marquee names, but the results have yet to improve on The Thing from Another World, Howard Hawks's lone foray into sci-fi. The story begins as military airmen are dispatched to a remote Arctic research station where scientists have detected the crash of a spacecraft. An effort to retrieve the saucer-shaped vehicle fails, but the team returns to the station with the frozen body of its sole occupant. When the extraterrestrial pilot is accidentally thawed, the crew, headed by a tough-talking pilot (Kenneth Tobey), grapples with a massive, chlorophyll-based humanoid (James Arness) thirsty for blood and in no mood for galactic diplomacy.
