Two spaceships answer a distress signal and get lured to a planet where the occupants start to get picked off. The dead then start to rise from the graves re-animated by an evil host bent on escaping the planet in their ship.
This miniscule budgeted piece of hokum would be quite torturous to watch if it wasn't for the director, Italian supremo Mario Bava, working wonders with no back up whatsoever. He makes the planet look suitably creepy using imaginative lighting and forced perspective sets and does his best to keep the story moving along. Alas, the dialogue is poor and stilted and confused in places. For staunch Bava fans and fans of low budget schlock.
