Alien Lover

About This Movie

Alien Lover (1975) is this intriguing blend of drama, horror, and mystery that lingers in your mind long after viewing. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the dreamlike quality of the narrative. You’ve got an orphaned teenager caught between the allure of the alien and the creeping dread of what this connection could mean. The practical effects, though dated, have a certain charm that enhances the overall eerie atmosphere. And while we don’t know who directed it, the performances, particularly that of the lead, are hauntingly memorable. There's something unique about its premise that teeters on the edge of desire and fear, which keeps it distinct among its contemporaries.

The film originally aired as part of 'The Wide World of Mystery,' which adds an interesting layer to its history. It's not widely available, making it a rarity for collectors. The scarcity of physical formats, especially any original broadcast tapes, piques interest among enthusiasts looking for obscure gems. Given its odd charm and unique premise, it tends to attract dedicated collectors who appreciate its distinctive approach to the sci-fi genre.
