Summary: Just the thing if you are short of sleep
Review: This movie had an absolutely amazing effect! I sat down, ready and alert, expecting to see another of the all time worst science fiction movies that require special talents (and perhaps the ability to see invisible things) to appreciate. Then after perhaps 10 minutes of watching pointless dialogue set in what appeared to be an abandoned stage set from Abie's Wild Irish Rose, I fell soundly asleep. When I next awoke, there was the devil girl and her large aluminum foil robot. Then a brief nap later, her ship was destroyed as the earthlings "fooled her again." What a refreshing movie! Get this now if you have trouble falling asleep. It will do wonders for you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A fun movie and decent presentation
Review: With a title like DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS you're not expecting much, so when you get a movie with at least a little bit of substance you're inevitably pleased. Almost a quiet, character ensemble movie buoyed considerably by its rural English setting and its well-defined (if somewhat broadly drawn) characters. Sure, it's a B-movie, but it's not nearly as campy as some would describe - in fact, it's played rather seriously. Overall, not a bad way to pass a Saturday afternoon; great home matinee material.

The DVD presentation is sparse - there's a trailer, and chapter selections, but nothing else. It's tough to justify the list price on this, but it IS a very nice print overall and shows excellent tone and definition. Sound is excellent as well. It goes without saying that it blows away those VHS EP copies out there.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A sci-fi cheapie from BRITAIN
Review: You'll find it hard to belive that Britain made a movie this bad--and the most amazing thing about it is how seriously it's film-makers took it. It's like they expected it to be an all-time masterpiece. Oh well, hundreds of today's directors do the same thing (Peter Greenway etc.) so I guess these film-makers of "the new millenium" are just as immature as they were in 1954. A husky-voiced alien arrives on planet Earth with her tinsel-foiled robot and harrasses the owners of a tea-house. While she's away getting ready to kill them, some very funny (and very Britsh) dialogue is heard ("While we're all alive we might as well have a cup of tea"). See it to belive it, I'm sure you won't regret it (unless your patience is that limitid).
