Not of this earth- Again??,
By the avenger (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Not of This Earth [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have seen both remakes of Roger Corman's Not of this Earth, and I must say his 1957 version with Paul Birch and Beverly Garland was better! I'm truly not a supporter of remakes, because they never capture in my opinion, the original director or author's "touch of class." I also don't understand why they haven't released Mr. Corman's 1957 version? Two remakes, but not the original on VHS? I think somebody has it backwards. Besides, Mr. Birch and Miss Garland have my vote any time.

INTERESTING EFFORT,
By Klimari (WANAQUE, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Not of This Earth [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Interesting remake of the 50's Roger Corman SCHLOCK CLASSIC. One of my favorite horror movies as a kid, complete with Beverly Garland! Mr. Corman serves as exec-producer of this most recent film version of a man (?) from another world, whose planet of inhabitants is dying off from a airborne blood disorder. Excellent performance by Michael York as the sunglassed alien Paul Johnson, whose eyes could flame broil a steak at THE OUTBACK. The rest of the cast is mostly forgettable (including Parker Stevenson, who looks pretty young these days. Wouldn't you if you never worked?). Though the direction is a bit lackluster, the story line holds up with interesting references to modern day. The script takes itself too seriously though, and even though the subject is "serious", adding some witty/funny dialog would have made this a version a winner! My main question is, since there have been not one but TWO remakes... WHY ISN'T THE ORIGINAL AVAILABLE ON HOME VIDEO AT ALL? May I suggest a deluxe boxed set complete with a pair of those cool RAY BANS? KFL

Beg, borrow or steal the 1957 original,

This review is from: Not of This Earth [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This story has been made into a movie at least three times. Don't waste your time or money with this awful remake. The earlier version with Traci Lords is OK.. but the original is one of the forgotten classics of the 1950's.. There are often DVD or VHS copies available on EBAY. The quality of these transfers is not wonderful... but the movie is great.
