Film Review - Not of this Earth (1988)
4 years ago
Not of this Earth is a sci-fi film by Jim Wynorski. It's an usual film that almost feels like it's from the 1960s.
An alien that takes the form of a man in a suit with sunglasses, lands on Earth and starts draining blood from people. He hires a nurse to provide regular blood transfusions. Over the course of the film she finds out what he's doing and tries to escape.
Giving a plot summery of this film is difficult because it's not a regular movie. Things happen, but it's hard to pin down a plot that follows the traditional three act structure. The characters investigate the alien's weird behaviour, thinking he's some rich eccentric, but there's not a lot of mystery as we know he's an alien draining blood from people.
On the plus side, lead actress Traci Lords is hot, and there's one joke involving a stripper-gram that had me laughing out loud.
Overall, I can't really recommend Not of this Earth. It's not bad, don't get me wrong. It kept me interested throughout to see where it was going, but it's mostly a guy in a suit acting strangely with the occasional bit of gratuitous nudity.
