- AnecdotesThe alien costume featured here was the same as the one used in another Roger Corman film, Teenage Caveman (1958). This was done to save money, as Corman and his brother Gene Corman often tried to incorporate existing sets, costumes and other elements from previous films into new ones for financial savings. Screenwriter Martin Varno said the Corman brothers were so conscious of their spending that "'cheap' was the main word in their vocabulary". The monster costume scenes in "Teenage Caveman" and this film were shot within about two weeks of each other. The costume was modified slightly for this film. Ross Sturlin wore the costume for the scenes in both "Teenage Caveman" and this film. Flming was very difficult for Sturlin because it got extremely hot inside the costume during the exterior shots. John John M. Nickolaus Jr. was director of photography for the film, and Jack Bohrer was the production manager. Daniel Haller, who went on to become a film director himself, worked as art director on this film. He did much of the manual construction work on the set himself, and brought a trailer in to the sound stage so he could sleep there and between work sessions. Among the props he built was the rocket-ship, the frame, which was made of plywood that had been cut into circles, then covered with a plastic sheet and spray-painted to look metallic. Haller also created blood cells that the characters looked at under a microscope, and the baby aliens (which resembled seahorses) they looked at under a fluoroscope. Alexander Laszlo composed the music for the film. Almost the entire crew went on to work on Attaque des Sangsues Géantes (1959) with the Corman brothers and Kowalski.

Blood and Resurrection
Considering that the crew appear to have constructed the prop space capsule out of a septic tank, this is a decent little el cheapo scifi flick.
A film buff with the slightest knowledge of the major auteurs goes into a B/W 1958 Roger Corman scifi film with a certain set of expectations. Within such parameters, this is a surprisingly well-made film, tense, moody, interesting, and moving along a pace that corresponds well with the plausibility factor. While none of the acting is spectacular, it is all competent and sometimes impressive. The script is surprisingly intelligent, especially considering the title. The title, however corny it may be, works well in this film due the portions of the plot dealing with the death and resurrection of an astronaut.
There is a small bit of FX and monster make up in this film; you will be thankful to find out that it does not clash with the septic tank space capsule.
Overall, this is an honest, well-constructed little drive-in type scifi/horror film that does the job it was designed for and more. It makes more sense, and is more satisfying than watching all the episodes of the new version of 'V.'
