It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) watch online

It! The Terror from Beyond Space is an independently made 1958 American science fiction horror film, produced by Robert Kent, directed by Edward L. Cahn, starring Marshall Thompson, Shawn Smith, and Kim Spalding. It was released by United Artists on August 7, 1958, and played as a double feature with Curse of the Faceless Man.

The story involves Earth's second mission to Mars to discover the fate of the first. The single survivor from that crashed spaceship, the expedition commander, claims his crew was killed by a Martian life form. None of the rescue crew believes him until the creature, now a stowaway, begins hunting them on their return trip to Earth.

The film's premise (along with Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires and Curtis Harrington's Queen of Blood) has been cited as inspiration for Dan O'Bannon's screenplay for Alien (1979).
