Editorial Review - Description

Hollywood gangsters kidnap a Beverly Hills socialite in her Cadillac convertible and whisk her off to a remote mountain cabin where a curvy "starlet" in a spandex spacesuit lands in her "white light' spaceship to bring handsome leading man Robert Clarke a message and to heat up his hormones. One problem with this cosmic encounter--her touch is deadly! An Atomic Age cult classic that could have only come out of the Hollywood B-movie factory of the 1950s. If tough gangster dialogue, sleazy dames, petty crooks, rubber snakes, and Ed Wood films speak to you, this is the one!

Hollywood gangsters, a kidnapped socialite, and leading man Robert Clarke encounter a curvy "starlet" from space in a spandex spacesuit. But beware--her touch is deadly in this Atomic Age B-movie classic.

Inferior print

A Customer Review by rchunah
For some reason Image Entertainment used a different print for their DVD version as opposed to their earlier VHS release.

I have this film on both media and the print used for the VHS is cleaner, with the exception of a loss of dialogue occurring at the thirty-eight-minute-mark due to an abrupt splice/jump in the film. The line of dialogue is clean and clear on the DVD. For those who only own or have seen the VHS the dialogue delivered by Nat, the lead kidnapper is as follows: "It's a synch someone survived because that thing wasn't from this world."

You would think that Image would at least use a print as good or better than what they previously used for their VHS release. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the DVD format to use lower grade source material on a higher grade of media.

Don't Touch Me There!

Yes, she's landed her spacecraft on our planet and started walking.... no, sauntering.... Um, slinking along in her painted-on outfit from beyond space! She's the ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER! Why has she come? What does she want?? Look out! Her touch causes instant death to any living thing! It turns rattlesnakes into rubber and bears into rugs! Our only hope is in the person of a geologist (Robert Clarke) and his faithful collie. Oops! The ASM has dispatched poor Lassie to that big kennel in the sky! What's this? Three kidnappers have arrived at the geologist's house in the woods, with their pretty young victim in tow. What will our geological hero do now? Watch as the ASM sashays... no, moseys along at a horrible pace, touching and killing things along the way! Can the rock guy and his unwanted guests possibly survive? It's all in the deadly hands of THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER! See her wiggle... no, slither through the trees, coming closer, closer! If her suit were any tighter, she'd be bleeding! Pray that she keeps her grabby fingers to herself! THE ASTOUNDING SHE MONSTER is a schlocky ball of cheese with a gooey center. Would make a great double bill with MESA OF LOST WOMEN or THE ATOMIC BRAIN (which may have used the same droning narrator)! ...
