Keep watching the skies
15 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Yes. it came out of the skies; a mysterious spaceship, being watched by Professor Elliot (Raymond Bond), lands in the moors of Scotland. An American reporter John Lawrence (Robert Clark) joins the professor in the investigation of the craft that resembles a diving bell. A distressed humanoid that piloted the craft tries to communicate that he is from a dying planet that desperately needs aid.

Very low budget and the lack of lighting actually helps the atmosphere. And the alien is one of the weirdest looking visitors to step on our planet. There is more curiosity than fear generated. This film is directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and independently made and actually distributed by United Artists, no stranger to the genre. Who can't enjoy Black and White sci-fi?

Also in the cast: Margaret Field, William Schallert, David Ormont, Gilbert Fallman and Roy Engel. You may recognize Harold Gould as a frightened villager.
