Don't touch this female!
15 February 2005
I recently watched The Astounding She-Monster and found it quite enjoyable, despite the very low budget and fairly poor acting.

A rich woman is kidnapped by a gang of robbers and taken to a log cabin in a forest and she is then held hostage there, along with the geologist who is living there. At the same time, a strange meteor shaped craft lands nearby and its occupant is a deadly, alien woman who is also luminous and radioactive. One touch from this woman results in death. The gang members are gradually killed off by her and there are just two survivors, the rich woman and geologist, who fall in love through all of this. The alien is also killed at the end and that is when we find out the reason for her coming to Earth.

The acting in this movie certainly isn't very good, but despite this, I enjoyed it. It is not unlike an Ed Wood movie.

The cast includes Robert Clarke (The Man From Planet X, The Hideous Sun Demon), Kennie Duncan and Shirly Kilpatrick as the She-Monster.

Watch this if you get the chance, a must for 1950's sci-fi fans.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
