USA 1958
"Shuddery things from beyond the stars, here to breed with human women!"
For one reason or another I never put this in the same class of films true 'B-Pulp-sci-fi' icons like This Island Earth or The Brain That Wouldn't Die . It always seemed less cheesy and more obvious... perhaps a little less innocent. It does, however, have a lot of the imperfect elements that I do enjoy from this era - such as corny overacting and and limited budget for special effects. I always try to reflect on why I enjoy this genre of cinema so much. It borders on being identified as the primordial soup of exploitation films, which I detest. Perhaps it comes down to the irony of simplicity vs. allure. In attempting to capture audience dollars films like this try, with great naiveté, to employ some silly and comical gimmicks. In the case of "I Married a Monster From Outer Space" it is in the title itself, as well as the limited onscreen appearances of the "monster" visage.
The "aliens from Outer Space are slowly switching places with real humans" plot can make for great cinema with all the possible corollaries of our own unsupported fears and idiosyncratic bigotries (see "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or many "Twilight Zone" episodes as the keystone examples). All-in-all, this is still another fun way to spend a late Friday night, eating pizza and envisioning yourself as a teenager in a 1950's drive-in.

| Comments: |
This DVD has a
good image, acceptable audio and excellent subtitles. There are no
extras. I saw just a shade of chroma in some scenes that exhibited
strobing, but otherwise this is a fine presentation with above-average
contrast levels. A trailer, liner notes or commentary would have been
appreciated.
