ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
IndustriousAngel "Devil Girl from Mars" is a rather worse than mediocre piece of 50's SF - a bit special because it's a British production, but neither does it spin a new angle on the "Invaders from Mars" theme, nor is it particularly charming.I could overlook many of this movie's problems - the cheap production design, the simple set, the cardboard characters - even the ridiculous robot (all the more ridiculous because it doesn't do anything the imposing Ms. Laffan couldn't have done herself) - but there's one big problem I can't overlook, and that's the sluggish pace. Humanity's survival is at stake but there's never any urgency, any sense of doom. A group of people trapped in a limited location and fighting for survival - quite a common theme for movies, many of them very good, so you can't blame the small budget or the SF genre - it's simply a script, direction and editing problem.Conclusio: I found this really really hard to sit through. Recommended only for completists of the genre.
Lee Eisenberg "Devil Girl from Mars" is basically '50s sci-fi meets every male chauvinistic fantasy. The title character is a leather-clad woman from the red planet - a bit of an early dominatrix - looking to capture a man to help repopulate her planet, while reminding earthlings of the inferiority of their technology. And all this time I thought that men were from Mars and women were from Venus! It's a very campy movie. The martian woman in a cat suit acts all no-nonsense about the superiority of Mars, giving some of the ultimate overacting. And then there's a robot that acts drunk! Yeah, they probably had fun making this movie, and I bet that Patricia Laffan's tight outfit raised a lot of eyebrows when the movie first got released. It's just a fun movie, and you'll probably like it.Among the cast, Adrienne Corri (Doris) later played Mrs. Alexander in "A Clockwork Orange", and Joseph Tomelty (Prof. Hennessey) is the father of Frances Tomelty, who used to be married to Sting.
dsewizzrd-1 John Laurie stars in this sci-fi drama of the 1950s variety.The Devil girl from Mars, wearing a suit made from ICI's new "PVC" material, with a cape, mini-skirt and kinky boots, comes from Mars to take men to repopulate a race of super-women (as they generally do).The men resist of course - they are British - a scientist and a reporter in a "gay-look" Hillman Minx, a man on the run, and a whisky-sodden Laurie."She's going all blurry !" screams a woman in this film obviously adapted from a radio play, with a "giant" robot (achieved via film impositioning) and a spaceship that looks just like the impeller/motor assembly from a Hoover upright vacuum cleaner.Devil Girls From Mars, forsooth.
CatSpringer This was actually a stage play first. Can you imagine? And I'm sorry Joel & the 'bots never got a chance to pick this one apart. The potential for near-off-color jokes is amazing. Nyah smirks, struts, shows Mr. Spock what the eyebrow is really for, prepares a sperm bank for Mars, shows little Tommy "wonders of the universe you've never dreamed of," all while her giant refrigerator robot is in tow, disintegrating trees. If she had only made it to London, she'd have ruled the discotheques without all the fuss. I should hope there's no such thing as reincarnation, as I might not love this camp classic in the next life. Anakin Skywalker, you're a wuss.
