Not of This Earth

Corman works wonders on a shoestring budget like few other filmmakers, here delivering an effective and enjoyable work of cheap, sci-fi pulp with a brisk pace, fun effects and a memorable villain. Dick Miller staring straight at the camera before his untimely demise is comedy gold.

"Not of This Earth" delivers good entertainment with special effects consisting of cloudy eyes and a fancy closet. This one is all about the story and Roger Corman tells it well.

"Don't be a drag, you know how you flip me." "I'm hip!" Hard to dislike a movie that starts out like that, and indeed the alien proves to be rather an intriguing character. Garland is also her usual appealingly natural self. The vacuum-cleaner salesman was definitely a humorous highlight. The title sequence was quite clever, especially on such a low budget.
