Watch Not of This Earth For Free

Fantastic!

Best movie ever!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This 1988 movie came out when Traci Lords was 20, which means it was likely filmed when she was 19, just a short time removed from her under- age introduction to the porn industry. She was quite lovely to look at, and the script makes sure we see a couple of scenes where she shows off her well-endowed bresticles. But she couldn't act back then. It comes across as a very amateurish performance. The entire movie is so bad and so campy that it is actually good ... good, fun, brainless entertainment. Traci Lords is Nadine Story, a nurse who gets talked into being the private nurse, for transfusions, for a man who claims he is dying. That man is actor Arthur Roberts as the mysterious Mr. Johnson, who we find is from an advanced race 'not of this Earth', but from a distant planet where massive radiation is destroying people by destroying their blood.Mr Johnson has been sent to evaluate Earth and see if using the blood of Earthlings will work, and if it does they will all come and take over. So he has to gather specimens, and he has some very novel ways of doing that. The other two key characters are Lenny Juliano as petty crook Jeremy who has been hired by Mr Johnson as a personal valet. Both he and the nurse are getting $2000 a week, which was quite a nice salary in 1988. The other is Ace Mask as Dr. Rochelle who first treats Mr Johnson but via mind control is unable to say anything about the anomalies he is finding.Just a fun diversion, and for those who are curious, to see a very young Traci Lords in a non-porn role. Man I wish she could act!SPOILERS: After all the set up the end comes quickly and undramatically. Mr Johnson has a particular vulnerability, loud noises like sirens are excruciatingly painful. As he is being chased by a motorcycle cops and the siren goes on, he loses control of the car, runs off a bridge, crashes and burns to death. In the last scene as the nurse and her friend look at the "Not of This Earth" headstone in the cemetery, and they walk away, another man almost like Mr Johnson walks up to the headstone, carrying a similar aluminum briefcase, and the movie captions is "The End", followed quickly by "The End??".

Alien(Arthur Roberts), from a nuclear devastated planet, needs blood not only to keep himself strong, but for his people from home as war ravishes there. He brings in nurse Nadine(Traci Lords) to apply transfusions often so that his strength will remain. His eyes glow so he has to keep a pair of shades on unless retrieving the life force of victims..he also uses mind control over the inferior humans who are weak against his power. He has a blonde servant, known for his criminal activities, named Jeremy(Lenny Juliano). Nadine's boss, Dr. Rochelle(Ace Mask)is a mind control victim of the alien's and does as he wishes. If anyone even mentions his name as a possible suspect in the rash of crimes taking place, where corpses are being drained of blood, Rochelle will not implicate him. Various bimbos become victims as Nadine, her cop boyfriend Harry(Roger Lodge), & Jeremy begin to suspect their wealthy employer, Mr. Johnson being his disguised earth name, may be..Not of This Earth.Johnson keeps a gateway housed in his study which works as both a portal between worlds and a telecommunications device to his leader. Soon Johnson discovers that he'll possibly not be able to return home when a female alien passes through the portal to earth informing him that a bimbo he sent was crushed during the travel. Needing blood, the female alien is accidentally given blood, through a transfusion conducted by Johnson, infected with rabies that sends her into a violent frenzy wiping out a group of punks and hunting/executing an innocent woman. The discovery of the female(..coupled with Nadine and Jeremy's snooping) could lead to the revealing of Johnson's true identity.To be honest, my true recommendation towards others is seeing Traci Lords in various states of undress or wearing dresses and/or skimpy, scantily-clad clothing that reveals her magnificent body. She's undeniably a sexy woman who does a capable job in the starring role opposite the stone-faced Roberts as an emotion-less alien killing machine, while Juliano as the slimy Jeremy, with a thing for Nadine(..who could fault him for that?)is a hoot. The special effects sequences at the front are really not needed and rather detract from the rest of the film which has nothing to do with those images of various alien monsters terrorizing. There are a number of spirited weirdos who often frequent director Wynorski's trashy pictures. But, Lords is the film's highlight, ESPECIALLY in that blue bikini. As Lodge's cop Harry pronounces as she walks away from him.."Phew, have mercy." Have mercy is right!

This remake from Roger Corman's own 1957 "Not of this Earth". shares pretty much the some plot as the original. Alien comes to Earth from a far-off world to acquire blood for his dying race. The only updates are blood and breasts. Taci Lord's first mainstream acting role and I suspect it's because her fellow actors are just horrid, because she comes out as being good in it. If you don't plan on seeing this film with a six-pack at the ready, then my advice is DON'T. Also to have the stunning Monique Gabrielle in the film, but only in a bit part AND make her ugly is a travesty. Wynorski made some pretty good B-movies in the start of his career, but this isn't one of them. However comparing this film to the ones that he puts out today, it's a masterpiece.My Grade: C- DVD Extras: Commentary with JimWynorski and Lenny Juliano;Cast and crew Bios; and Trailers for "The Doorway", "Humanoids from the Deep", and "Brain Dead" Eye Candy: Ave Cadell, Belinda Grant, Roxanne Kernohan, Becky LeBeau, Taaffie O'Connell, and last but not least Traci Lords all let loose massive mammories. Traci shows her rump as well. This film is huge hooter heaven (say that three times fast)

******SOME SPOILERS*******Wynorski remade of Corman's 50s classic space vampire film for the 80s, and got pretty good results. Traci Lords (in her straight film debut) is no match in the acting department for the original film's Beverly Garland, but she brings her own unique charm and attitude to the film. She plays a nurse who's duty it is to take care of a mysterious patient who turns out to be a scout for a possible alien invasion. Lenny Juliano does a very good job here; in fact, the performances are good in the campy style all around. Some upper body nudity of Lords is well handled, but the shots later in the film with the strippers come off more as straight exploitation. Still, this film has just enough cool in it to make it one of the decade's better action/horror/sci-fi flicks. After all, Corman and Griffith's tall dark and sunglass-wearing alien WAS the original terminator.....Some of the "hipster" dialogue that Griffith wrote for the original film was actually retained word for word in this remake.....
