The Angry Red Planet Movie Review

An unintentionally amusing sci-fi adventure about astronauts on Mars fighting off aliens and giant, ship-swallowing amoebas. Crew comes back infected by cancerous growths, and Nora Hayden must go through the whole story in flashbacks in order to save them. Filmed using bizarre “Cinemagic” process, which turns almost everything pink – it was originally meant to make the actors blend in better with painted backdrops, but it doesn't work very well. Wild effects have earned the film cult status. Romance is added as Jack Kruschen appears to fall in love with his sonic rifle. AKA: Invasion of Mars.
