The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

They don't make 'em like they used to, as this sci-fi classic exemplifies. With a futuristic comic book feel and the genius creature effects of Ray Harryhausen, this is a film to savor. The plot is simple--A spacecraft from the first Earth-Venus mission crashes off the Italian coast, and a canister containing a Venusian life-form is recovered by a young boy. That life-form is actually an alien and it grows into a reptilian giant called the Ymir. Now agile, it proceeds to run amok on the streets of Rome, terrorizing all in it's wake. Look for William Hopper, TV's Paul Drake from the classic Perry Mason series in the leading man role.
