In the end of the Nineteenth Century, Prof. John Mayer (Boris Karloff) and his assistant, the scientist Dr. Isabel Reed (Maura Monti), accidentally discover a powerful ray. An alien (Sergio Kleiner) travels to Earth to destroy the machine since it would be a threat to the universe. He initially possess the sexual maniac and serial-killer Thomas (Yerye Beirute) to get close to Dr. Mayer during the demonstration of the machine to scientists and military. Dr. Mayer's niece Laura (Christa Linder) meets his acquaintance, the chemical Dr. Paul Rosten (Enrique Guzmán), and Dr. Mayer invites him to join the research. When Thomas gets close to Dr. Mayer, the alien also possess his brain, to destroy the device and his notes. Meanwhile, Thomas is not able to control his impulses and attacks several women with his razor blade.
"Alien Terror" is a Mexican sci-fi-horror film highly recommended for fans of Boris Karloff and B-Movies from the 50's. This is the penultimate Boris Karloff's film and therefore a great attraction for his fans. The edition and the cinematography are terrible, but it is OK for a low-budget movie. The screenplay is not bad. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Alien Terror"
