    Most of these films and series are out now on DVD or BLURAY. Some of them nicely restored.

    Ein Vorläufer von ALIEN und total 50er-Jahre-mässig. Der Film ist weniger Entzauberung als Zeitreise mit nicht besonders gut gelungenen Reparaturen an schadhaften Bildmaterial, aber das ganze ist ein schöner nostalgischer Spass, und die Soundbeurteilung ist schon einen Schmunzler wert:

    It! The Terror from Beyond Space features a perfectly serviceable lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono mix, one which faithfully recreates the lo-fi sonic ambience of the original. There are surprisingly few goofy sound effects in the film, with sonic punch achieved more through unlikely elements such as gunfire or electrocution. Dialogue is cleanly presented, and the at times bombastic score by genre stalwarts Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter sounds nicely full bodied.
