I likes the second half of this movie! The first half was boring as heck! The Mars scene was cool to me because it was different! Now the "Bat Rat Spider" was awesome! I believe the tint effect added to it! The scene where they saw the Martian City across the Martian Lake was good too! The most chilling was the Martian warning at the end! "remember, when this film came out Mars and space was a mystery to us"
What was funny was that character named Sam! The guy who was in love with that freese gun! The qualifications for a flight crew must have been lax! This guy came off as illiterate as heck! He would be better cast in one of those prison movies about alcatraz! All I know he loved to shoot everything he saw!
Also Ive seen variations of the "Bat Rat Spider" in other films as well! One time !remember a variation in a old "Lost In Space "Episode!

Way off topic, but. . .

I haven't seen this movie, but I think it would be pretty sweet if a television network were to go out on a limb and produce Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles" in this style.  I know there was a mini produced, and I haven't seen it, but I want to see an update.  A remake if you will, with the artistic allegorical bent that the book has.  It may not be a huge hit, but it would be sweet for us genre fans.

Also, IMDb lists something, but gives no other information than "Ray Bradbury".  Actually, looking at the reviews of the original "Martian Chronicles" makes me think it might fit the bill anyway.  What's that one about Freemasonry?

Well, from Andrew's clip of ANGRY RED PLANET, I'll have to see it.  That bat-rat-spider does have it's charm.  Maybe I'll dress my dog up as that next Halloween.

"Grooooonk!  Grrroooooonk!"

The red tint not only added to the film, but  was probably "a must" for this fun low budget film. ANGRY RED PLANET is real entertainment.

Love this film!!  Awesome monster -- really looks weird & otherworldly --
