![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While campy and cheesy, the remake most certainly pays fine tribute to the original version, which was just as b-grade as well. Not Of This Earth is in point of fact a remake of an earlier horror/sci-fi classic from the 1950s. But that’s what these movies were all about both back in the day and in this day looking at it in retrospective. In fact, it is so stuck in the 1980s, it has a nude tittie shot followed by awful keyboard-induced music within the first five minutes of the film – it’s so seamlessly done and indicative of the era that it puts both Flesh Gordon movies to shame. That is the way of things when it comes to movies like Not Of This Earth.įirst off, this movie is totally campy, cheesy, and ill budgeted – it’s best to be aware of these elements before going into viewing it. The movie is a flashback to an era of filmmaking when B-Grade flicks had their own culture and fan following, when it was acceptable and almost mandatory to include a bad story with bad acting, but special effects and lots of boobs. The film has the distinct fame for being Traci Lords‘ first “serious” mainstream acting vehicle after her first few adult film flings. Heading for a change of pace in our weekly Netflix Streaming Review, this week we take a look at the cheesiness and campiness of the classic and cult B-Grade sci-fi flick, Not Of This Earth. Starring Traci Lords, Arthur Roberts, Ace Mask, Becky LeBeau ![]()
