Queen of blood (Curtis Harrington/Usa/1966)
Duration : 78′ Genre : Horror, Sci-fi
In 1990 a starship crashed on a planet Mars send a SOS message to planet earth ; the rescue team leaded by the Dr. Farraday will soon realize is trap set by a bloodsucker alien queen.
Third movie directed by a horror-scifi pioneer providing a kind of Ridley Scott‘s Alien preview in spite of the low budget but quite competitive and effective in its claustrophobic and anguish atmosphere as a Roger Corman or Mario Bava ‘s feature starring a dark charming ambiguous Florence Marly as a Queen Alien. Deserve the cult. Also starring youngs John Saxon and Dennis Hopper with the old glory Basil Rathbone as Dr. Farraday. Aka Space vampires.
