On their
Blu-ray,
Film Detective use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (16-bit) in the
original English language. The Brain from Planet Arous
has aggressive moments, alien effects, and screams that come through with
reasonable depth. The score is by journeyman Walter Greene (War of
the Satellites, Teenage Monster, Teenage Doll,
Jesse James' Women, Son of Billy the Kid), that
David Schecter discusses in the commentary.
Film Detective offer optional English subtitles on their Region FREE
Blu-ray.

Nathan Juran's The Brain from Planet
Arous
is weak, but hokey fun, even for this genre. Effects are quite...
budget-conscious with the transparent brain-shaped creature and its googly-eyed, out-of-focus, possession. It still has a lot of charisma
with appealing everyman Agar + smok'in 22-year old Meadows (she was
"Miss Sacramento" in 1953 as Joyce Burger, and "Miss Hollywood" in
1954.) It's not a bad science-fiction story - if having a few weaknesses
and awkward dialogue. It is a shade reminiscent of
Donavan's Brain , made 4-years earlier, with an evil entity
taking possession of a human mind, in this case intent on world
domination. The Brain from Planet
Arous
appeared in 1958 on a double feature with, the equally
poor-effect-laden, Teenage Monster. The Film Detective Blu-ray
