DVD Review: "Phantom from Space (1953) ... W. Lee Wilder ... Legend Films (2008)"
Summary: 4 Stars
Legend Films presents "PHANTOM FROM SPACE" (15 May 1953) (73 mins) (Fully Restored/Dolby Digitally Remastered) --- now in COLOR and Glorious Black and White --- An alien being with the power of invisibility lands in Santa Monica --- Killing two people who attacked him due to the menacing appearance of his space suit, the creature takes it off while being pursued by government authorities --- And check out that cool space suit! --- The ending tops all, thought, with a really cool effect that finally lets the viewer see the man behind the mask --- Each scene is gripping within the story line from director W. Lee Wilder (brother of director Billy Wilder).

Story line and plot, 'The Phantom from Space' was a refreshingly different early 50s sci-fi film worth seeing --- this is not a typical "monster" from space story --- Instead the alien was a misunderstood sympathetic character stranded on earth and needing help --- He tried to communicate with humans but failed. I like to think that the more technologically advanced a race is, the less violent they might become or need to be --- find a film like this much more believable than a typical 50s "monster from space" film like 'The Thing from Another World' (1951), was an excellent film, but the advanced alien in it acted like a killer maniac. Hard to believe he could have built a ship able to travel millions of light years --- This alien in 'Phantom from Space' was also stranded here, but wanted to find a way to communicate and survive in our atmosphere, not kill --- this is refreshingly different from other 50s sci-fi films. In some ways this film reminded me of 'The Man From Planet X' maybe it was the role an unusual looking space suit played in making the alien seem more menacing then he actually was and adding a weird unearthly atmosphere to the film --- The special effects were primitive by todays standards, but got the job done nicely --- all of this just added to my enjoyment of the film.
