Quotes:
Dr. Hans Halvorsen: But it proves out: this creature lives on energy, and discharges energy! That would explain its ability to electrocute Michaels! One cell, one microscopic speck left on a space suit, and it would absorb all the energy it could find.
Commander Jack Rankin: Wait a minute -- are you telling me that this thing "reproduced" itself inside the decontamination chamber? And, as we stepped up the current, it just... it just GREW?
Dr. Hans Halvorsen: Precisely! And they could be reproducing on any part of this station, where even a drop of this substance can reach ANY form of energy!

One of the Best 60's Japanese Sci-Fi movies made..., 13 December 2000
10/10
Author: Jeff (jeffthompson@home.com) from Dallas, Texas

Yes, I said Japanese. Even though the whole thing was filmed in English with American actors, this is a Japanese production, and its one of the best I've ever seen! Everything about this movie is phenominal from a 60's point of view; I especially liked the Set design, and the costumes. If you like the godzilla type of movies, i suggest you see this at all costs.
