2) UK film (1958; vt The Cosmic Monster). Eros/DCA. Dir Gilbert Gunn, starring Forrest Tucker, Gaby Andre, MartinBenson, Wyndham Goldie. Screenplay Paul Ryder, Joe Ambor, based on The Strange World of Planet X * (1957) by Rene Ray. 75 mins. B/w.
A mad scientist's magnetic experiments rupture Earth's ionosphere, thereby permitting the penetration of cosmic rays (!), which create giant insects on an area of Earth 80 miles (130km) across. The creatures are eventually destroyed by a friendly ALIEN. The special effects were manifestly done on a tiny budget; the film is normally regarded as mediocre. Its immediate source was probably Ray's novelization of 1, rather than the series itself, since the plot-lines differ. In the film, Planet X is Earth and the Cosmic Monster is Man.
