Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
AIP's double-feature strategy meant this played with 'Suicide Battalion' for drive-in audiences expecting explosions, not nuance.
Edward L. Cahn directed 80+ features in 15 years, including 'It! The Terror from Beyond Space'—the clear inspiration for Alien, just like this clearly inspired... nothing.
