剧情简介
Out of the fifties 'B' Science-Fiction monster movies, this easily ranks as the best. It's most notable as the film that ALIEN is an unaccredited remake of, thus giving it a certain historical significance. The intriguing plot is about the rescue of the only marooned survivor (Col. Carruthers) of an ill-fated expedition to Mars. The authorities, pig-headed as usual, falsely assume that he murdered his fellow crew members, so that he'd have more provisions to survive; hence he is being brought back to Earth to face court-martial for murder. (There is also a somewhat interesting plot reversal here Most movies of this nature usually begin with the ship leaving Earth, enroute to its otherworld destination, while, in this case, the story is believed finished, and begins as the characters take-off from the other planet, returning to Earth). As the rescue ship is leaving Mars, a lurking, ominous shadow is seen in the lower compartment. (A frightening, atmospheric moment, accomplished through sheer economy and simplicity). Carruthers insists of his innocence to his fellow captors, claiming that his original crew mates were slaughtered by a hostile, unseen presence on the desolute red planet, but three-guesses as to their reaction to his unusual plea. Naturally, he can't prove it, and 50's space authorities were not very alien conscience at the time. (As a side-thought, unseen menace may remind you of that highly original BLAIR WITCH). As everyone sacks out, a hapless supporting charactor whose name is at the bottom of the casting list (guess what will happen to him) hears something in the lower compartment. Despite your futile don't go down there, you jerk! pleas, he does just that, and is appropriately killed (more like thoroughly obliterated) by the shadowy figure with insatiable blood lust on its mind. In the victim's case, dereliction of duty and sheer cowardliness would have been the wise decision. The scene is actually well-directed (for a change) and develops much suspense, as the entire film surprisingly does. The crew finally catches on that they have an unwanted ship crasher on board, and try every possible means at their disposal to eliminate it, but the unknown creature seems to copping an anti-death attitude. Proving to be an even more clever, worthy adversary, 'IT!' also hides out in the ventilation shafts of the ship (now that should ring a bell). Cahn's forceful direction generates considerable tension as the malevolent stowaway works its way up from one level of the confined ship to the next, eventually leaving the remaining characters trapped at the top. The movie's suspense is blunt and right to the point IT!' has to kill them or starve, hence they have to kill IT! or die. Nothing like those no two ways about it choices. Rent it, or check for it on cable if you wish to know the outcome. For a low-budget quickie, IT! is quite impressive and memorable. The dreaded sense of claustrophobic tension, rendering the characters' helpless entrapment, is highly effective. This is a production in which the limited budget and small sets actually work in favor of the plot's scary ambience. The black white photography (Yes, it's one of those!) helps to enhance its dark, creepy mood, and the sense of apprehension is quite high. (Modern day color freaks never seem to take that into consideration). The plot is also somewhat cynically ironic If the creature hadn't stowed away on the ship, Carruthers would have most likely been found guilty of the charges against him. The intelligent script (see what I mean about rareity) was penned by noted Science-Fiction author Jerome Bixby (remember Twilight Zone's It's a Good Life) The picture's taut editing eliminates any extraneous dross. (ALIEN tended to drag in its first hour with its sophomoric dialogue, and why did it have to include that stupid and ultimately counter-productive sub-plot of Ash being a robot, and further dragging the story down to another big bad conspiracy cliche UNNECESSARY!!!) Director Cahn astutely keeps the rubber-suited monster off-screen and in the shadows through-out most of the proceedings, keeping your paranoid imagination on constant alert. Unfortunately, perhaps at the studio's commercial insistance, it is a little over-revealed at the climax, but I haven't claimed this to be the perfect masterpiece. The performances, though nothing award-winning, are nevertheless cool enough so that one becomes sincerely concerned as to their fates. Not many movies in recent times ever come close to achieving that. They can be over-produced from here to eternity, and usually only succeed in being gloriously annoying. This film's story is not really totally original (what is), for it is based on A.E. Van Vogt's VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE. All ALIEN fanatics should track down an old used copy to see where the initial influence came from. As long as you're not craving another CGI wind-ding, you may find it worthwhile. Just don't expect the women to be Ripley precursors. This was still the sock-knitting fifties, sad to say.
外星恶客影评
木易杨剧场网友：Edward,L.,Cahn导演在《外星恶客》这部影评中的运镜、剪辑、演员Marshall,Thompson,Shirley,Patterson,Kim,Spalding 的演技、配乐都是满分的存在，《外星恶客》以剧情为切入感十分流畅不出戏，甚至里面的一些细节拍的如此之好，让我十分惊喜。
豆瓣网友：《外星恶客》确是道出了一代年轻人的困境与心声的，表面上洒脱追求自我，内心却在焦虑与自我怀疑，之所拍出这样的片子还是因为Edward,L.,Cahn太过自我。Edward,L.,Cahn的超现实主义元素和欢脱的喜剧风格更像是为影片披上的一层伪装，在影片末尾生命的重量下（男主与胎儿）这种“糟糕”才被揭露得到最真诚的反思。女主的表情管理真的好棒，表演感觉很舒服。
豆瓣网友：看得出来Edward,L.,Cahn拍得真好啊。感觉Edward,L.,Cahn导演虽然不着痕迹地拍摄一部好电影，但其实还是一种旁观者的感受，带着东方的婉转和留白。这种冲撞挺有新鲜感的。单从内容上来说就没什么新东西了。希望Edward,L.,Cahn后续能拍别人的故事，拍商业片，肯定更有火花。
MTIME网友：很喜欢Edward,L.,Cahn导演真佩服导演能把《外星恶客》拍到“他能懂但别人很难懂，说懂的也可能是在附和”的程度。如果照我浅显的理解，比较愿意看作是一个很普通的男人，在自己混杂的高阶角色幻想中结束了一生的故事。Edward,L.,Cahn导演可能是在挑选观众吧，很显然我没法让自己被选中。
酸笋网友：在几乎快要忘记前半部的时候，终于把《外星恶客》后半部分看完了…每次打开看到精彩部分都会眼都不会眨一下。结尾突然变我是没想到的，比走马灯的神秘剧情走向更让我惊讶（且不咋喜欢）。但前半部确实非常惊喜。
酸笋网友：看外星恶客如果想要愉快的观影体验，不要钻牛角尖妄图复合时间线，越想越乱，理清大致脉络，就坐那里好好感受吧，狂轰滥炸的画面和急风骤雨的音乐，加上冷静的叙述风格和精妙的时间线设计在1958年获得最佳影视类奖项实至名归，我很喜欢文字用镜头语言描绘的形式，此类影片可遇不可求，但希望这不是最后的一部，虽然老生常谈，但配上惊喜的创意、恰当的配乐、这波鸡汤喝的好痛快！
