«...La bella aliena è una specie di vampiro asessuato che dissangua gli uomini dell'astronave, agendo mentre gli altri
dormono ed usando le armi della seduzione e dell'ipnosi. ...Prodotto da AIP di Roger Corman a tempo di record (sembra siano bastati soltanto 8 giorni) con un occhio puntato al precedente
Il mostro dell'astronave e con il riadattamento di sequenze di pellicole russe, il film è considerato da alcuni un precedente di
Alien».

«This surely ranks as one of American International Pictures' finest efforts
in plot construction. After seeing some excellent spaceship footage purchased by
Roger Corman from the 1959 Russian film Niebo Zowiet, the producers
edited out the clips they wanted and fashioned a story around it. The final
product cost only $50,000 (the most expensive items being helmets to match the
Russian ones, purchased for $1,000!) and was shot in approximately eight days.
The story casts Rathbone (in quite a different role from his more famous
Sherlock Holmes) as a doctor who flies with a crew to Mars to rescue a downed
ship. The only survivor is Marly, who now sports a green complexion and sinister
glowing eyes. It is revealed that she is an intergalactic vampire intent on
draining crew members of their blood. Saxon and Meredith, the only crew members
left, discover that Marly is a hemophiliac! Considering the production
background, this is an entertaining science fiction horror piece with an
off-the-wall sense of the macabre. The direction nicely matches the footage and
presents it in an eerie, atmospheric style with great effect...».
