Traci Lords proves that appearing in a bad movie about vampire aliens does not require a woman to take her clothes off, but sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do.

The best part of this movie is the opening credit montage of other Corman-produced crap movies with that zany music.

Traci Lords, blue bikini, zoom and slo-mo functions on the remote...it don't get no better than that  TeddyR

Movies like this are the reason I'll always be a fan of Jim Wynorski - he gives the B movie fan exactly what they want.

I rented this a couple years ago at Family Video & it was a fun movie. If the DVD wasn't so expensive I'd buy it.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this was the last time Traci got naked in a movie. I guess, she's a 'serious' actress now.   Wink

I have this movie only because of Traci Lords,since she's the only thing worth watching.Did anyone else notice the film flubs?? The crew's reflection in the car as they're pulling in the driveway;her wearing high heels,then she isn't,then she is after she gets out of the shower;her wearing shoes,then she's barefooted,then she's isn't towards the end as she's being chased??? I might have left out a few more,but you get the idea..Yes,this is a bad movie and yes,some of the performances aren't all that good,but I can't stop thinking about that blue bikini!!!!

I saw this on Scfi back in January and I loved every second of it  TeddyR Not only was there an antagonist who was so quirky and enjoyable a character and a giant space jellyfish that could vaporize you, Richard Belzar is in it! That alone makes this movie golden  Thumbup The morphy-face alien was a kooky touch, too. This is just a very enjoyable movie that taps just the right cinematic vein (unintentional pun).

You saw the 1995 version.  This is the 1988, which is the lesser of the 3 versions (1957, 1988, 1995).  I keep hoping that they will release the 1995 "Not of This Earth" on DVD, but I am almost ready to sacrifice livestock to get a DVD release of the original 1957 movie.

Hate this movie, hate Wynorski. Reportedly he made a bet with someone that he could make his version in as little of time as the original. He did, but neglected to tell anyone he padded his film out with stock footage from other New World films.

They *did* release the 1995 Michael York version on DVD (I still have it).  I'm sure you can still find a copy on Amazon Marketplace or eBay.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
