Charming little sci-fi/horror with a dick scientist, space rockets, some body horror, and, for the time, pretty decent special effects. The only real gripes I have with it, is that the whole thing sounds like an old radio play, and that the pacing is not the best. Not the best Hammer production I have seen, but decent enough to keep me entertained.
