There was a time when the Devil Mouse actually took risks.
This film, as I have said previously, comes down to Gothic Horror In Space but I am posting this video essay because it's a worthwhile essay on the film. I'm not on board with proposed improvements, as that's where the essay loses the plot--Gothic Horror has to have certain things to make it work, which the proposals mess with--and forgets the target audience (older boys and their fathers).
And yes, this film is still a good time; find it used or ask Captain Harlock for a hookup. If you get a chance to see it in a theater, take it. This film benefits from being on a proper big screen, and you can see where authors like Brian Niemeier draw from in their own Gothic Horror In Space stories.
