Average Rating: 
Rating: - Influential and Unusual Pulp "B" Thriller
The idea of alien invaders masquerading as humans had been around since at least since John W. Campbell's 1938 novella WHO GOES THERE, but it had a special resonance during the cold war, when novels like Heinlein's THE PUPPET MASTERS and flims such as INVADERS FROM MARS and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS were top of mind in pop culture. The 1958 I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE combined the notion with a TRUE ROMANCE spin. Bill (Tom Tryon) and Marge (Gloria Talbott) are eager to be married, but ... Read More
Rating: - Better get yourself a cheap lawyer . . .
Charlton Heston mimic, Tom Tryon, turns in adequate low-key performance in this kitschy, sexually charged and slyly irreverent hodgepodge of amorous space creatures red-smoking their victims into the thankless realm of high-powered chick mongering. No woman, not even mega-super-vixen Phyllis Diller (who does not appear), can crush the life out of a space monster like Gloria Talbot can. Just look at old Tryon struggling with wedding-night monsterface and post-wedding melancholy. The man/alien (delightfully) ... Read More
Rating:  - Dont be fooled by the title
This is a neat movie.Very entertaining.If this was done as one of those low budget drive in flicks,then this is among the best in that category.Special effects are simple but effective.As a bonus the picture quality is about as clear as you will ever see it.
Rating: - Remebering
Fusion: Sizzle
I remember seeing this movie as a young woman. I liked the premise of the story, but I also really liked the alien -- Tom Tryon. He later became an author of several horror novels -- "The Other" and "Harvest Home". The movie is entertaining, and I enjoyed it.
Rating: - So much fun!
I love campy sci-fi, and this is a very good one. There's such a paranoia that prevales in it, it's so great. You know, like there are aliens who are here sneakily invading by taking the place of people we think we know. What could be more fun than that!? If you like the campy 50's sci-fi, don't miss this one.
