“There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware” - by Buffalo Springfield
This is truly Roger Corman; it has that Corman feel that only a Corman budget (estimated $700,000) can accomplish. It looks like Venice, California. The highlight is the Corman dialogue. I was a little surprised to see that they were able to capture, along with their other famous actors, Ray Walston of “South Pacific” (1958) fame.
This is a rescue mission movie. The original ship had some sort of mysterious difficulty that was not explained. However, an old hag soothsayer says the sooth does not look good. So we gather our cast the characters in a hurry as each one is mysteriously partially introduced to us, and the mission is underway.
The basic story is “and then there were none” in space. But can this story mask a more sinister purpose?
If you survive this movie and want more, read “Farewell to the Master” by Harry Bates.
