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.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Devil Girl from Mars, 1954. IN a quiet isolated part of rural Scotland, some scientists arrive to investigate a astrological matter near the pub. Trouble starts with spaceships and starship alien crews & robots. *Special Stars- Patrcia Laffan, Hugh McDermontt.*Theme- Plucky Scotish residents can survive anything.*Trivia/location/goofs- English, B&W. Robot- "Chanti". "Nyah" girl in latex PVC material costume. Good spaceship design.*Emotion- A wonderfully campy film with a touch of sexy B&D with the alien "Devil Girl'. The robot and spaceship design are refreshingly new and original. Supposedly the basic script idea was taken from this film and used in an American 50's sci-fi film. Guess which one?*Based On- The Cold War invasion and rocket exploration fears.

ewaf58 It's no use reviewing films like these if you're going to compare them with modern day releases. They are what they are - cheap perhaps but made to make money out of 'less expecting' 1950's film goers.In a world where we can do almost anything with CGI - features like this had to rely on good old model work and actual mechanical effects.There are some real howlers in the script - but that's all part of the charm.The actual flying saucer is a real hoot -"It's like something from another planet!"It's landing is very noisy - so not surprising to find that the sound editor is one Gerry 'Thunderbirds' Anderson (Credited here as Gerald Anderson)In some ways there is a connection with Forbidden Planet. In Forbidden Planet a Starship crew come across a naive sheltered beauty who doesn't quite understand what the Men are really looking for and what she wants.Well here the Devil Girl knows exactly what she wants - and has come to get it!

ferbs54 I'd been wanting to see this classick Brit piece of sci-fi for many decades, and must say that it was almost worth the wait. This flick is almost like a poor man's "Day the Earth Stood Still," except that instead of Michael Rennie, we get a British lassy playing some kind of Martian dominatrix, and instead of the wonderful Gort, we get one of the most lumbering and ridiculous-looking robots in film history. Still, the acting is fair, especially the always wonderful Hazel Court, and the effects pretty cool...especially the incredible explosion at the film's end. All in all, not the worst time killer that one could imagine, and a must for all fans of British sci-fi and/or Martian dominatrix movies.
