Just perfect for a child...a monster that eats you and can look like anyone/thing it wants to.
Years later I still think it's the best pre-cgi monster movie out there.

Disaffected
(4,507 posts)Was a kid when I saw it - I recall hiding under the theatre seats with my father trying to tell me it was just a movie. Told mother when we got home and she gave father a talking to for taking us to such a thing.
For years afterward whenever I saw lightning on the horizon at night, as in the movie, I would get creepy, uneasy flashbacks.

(2,252 posts)"The First Man Into Space" playing at the local theater, my big brother wanted to see it. My mom and grandmother took a chance on bringing me along for my first big screen movie experience. I was already a fan of Shock Theater and would laugh at host Zacherley. I was a few months short of my 4th birthday. The only thing I remember about watching it that first time is being frightened when the lights started flashing and the sirens went off when the ship was in trouble. Years later when I watched it on TV, I noticed how violent it was with the monster ripping out the throats of it's victims and blood gushing. I guess it helped that it was in black and white.
