Mario Bava's reputation as an innovative and original genre movie maker seems to be growing with every year that passes. Most of his output has been unfairly overlooked, and is often difficult to get hold of, but as his work becomes more available, it will become increasingly obvious that he was an important and influential director. 'Planet Of The Vampires' is a case in point. It's flaws are obvious (so-so acting, poor dubbing, a handful of silly lines in the script), but these are easily overlooked by the amazing atmospheric look of the film. Bava managed to achieve some astonishingly effective visuals on an obviously small budget. Stylish, creepy, cool and fascinating. Others have pointed out the similarities to Ridley Scott's 'Alien', and while I also agree with credit where credit's due, don't just watch this movie for that reason alone. Only a small part of it is related. Both movies are SF/horror classics in my opinion, and both stand alone. 'Planet Of The Vampires' will hopefully one day be recognized for the wonderful achievement that it is. Every science fiction fan should make sure they see this one! A forgotten gem.
