Devil Girl From Mars

Starring: Hazel Court, Patricia Laffan, Hugh McDermott, et al.

Nyah (Patricia Laffan) is a commander from Mars who is part of an alien team looking for Earth men to replenish the male population of her planet. Her space saucer is damaged when entering Earth's atmosphere, and she is forced to land in the remote Scottish moors. On Mars, the freedom of women led to open warfare between the sexes. The females won, but their victory lead to the sexual impotence of the planet's entire male population. So, Nyah spends her time in a Scottish bar where she makes threats toward the local women to give up their men. Nyah entices one of the town's men aboard her ship, Professor Hennessy (Joseph Tomelty), but the professor suggests that one of the other men at the inn volunteer to go back with her to Mars. A selfless volunteer agrees to go, with the intention of sabotaging the Devil Girl's spacecraft after takeoff. Will his plan work and save the rest of the Earth's male population? Watch this crazy science fiction film to see what happens to Nyah's evil plans. This is a superb British cult film you can't afford to miss!

Customer Reviews

Good adaptation from the play by John C. Mather and James Eastwood

A lonely inn in the Scottish highland is visited by what appears to be a meteor. This film also has the usual collection of personalities. After we get all the introductions and drinks in the house, an unexpected visitor appears from the sky. Yep, looks like a neighboring planet is deficient in a certain commodity (males). The visitor is Nyah (Patricia Laffan), an aloof miniskirted manless female alien. To satisfy the sci-fi in all of us, they mention “antimatter” (in so many words) and the next dimension. Does the space vehicle look like a prototype of the familiar Spielberg vehicles? Will Ellen Prestwick (Hazel Court) suddenly switch from tomato juice to whiskey? Will Robert Justin (Peter Reynolds) kill or make time? Will Nyah get what she came for or more than she bargained for? See Patricia Laffan in a more dangerous role as Miss Alice MacDonald in “23 Paces to Baker Street” (1956), adapted from the book “Warrant for X” by Philip MacDonald.
