Featured review
«Death Comes From Space» is one of those films whose good intentions and effort to create stunning visual effects, contrary to their low budget, surpass its achievements. Earth is in danger once again, because of a meteor shower that diverted to the planet, when space travel goes wrong. The main plot involves the American astronaut who went to space and a female scientist (Swiss actors Paul Hubschmid and Madeleine Fischer, respectively), who have the mission of finding the solution to save everyone. In the middle of the story, a family sub-plot interferes, but the moments of destruction are stronger, as shown on the screen, thanks to footage of natural disasters and people in danger, combined with images created by cinematographer Mario Bava, famous for creating effects and atmospheres with little. A minor and certainly rare contribution of Italian cinema in the science fiction genre, but welcome.
