Man arrives from outer space to save humanity from its destruction by
the evil Doctor Gulic, played by Cameron Mitchell. The Valencian Juan
Piquer Simón, always faithful to fantasy (from Journey
to the Centre of the Earth until Manoa, la ciudad de
oro), directs one of the most famous and legendary movies on
his filmography. Responsible for tremendously important titles in the
genre in Spain, like Slugs: the Movie,
The Rift or Mil gritos tiene la noche
Simón has the collaboration on this occasion of Juan Mariné
on the photography and the special effects of Emilio Ruiz, to whom this
year’s Festival is dedicating an exhibition. The unmistakable music
of the seventies accompanies the actions of the superhero in this film
which was a huge hit on its release. |
