I think that what we have here is an ok German 1950s B movie that didn't translate very well into English. It's an interesting movie, and has the elements that could make it a good movie, but it just doesn't fit together well. Something seemed to be lacking and at times it even became boring. I didn't care for the acting but a lot of that could have to do with the dubbed English that at times didn't fit the characters. The sets were pretty good. The ending was poorly done as though they couldn't think of a way to end the movie. It was nice to see a more obscure sci-fi / horror movie on DVD but this movie isn't for everyone. It certainly isn't anything to go out of your way to see. It probably would have been better in it's original German. In English it just falls short.
