Retro sci-fi & pulp
Science fiction from the 1950s to the VHS era: laboratory fantasies, future fears and space adventures.
Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.
From the editors
An extraterrestrial jelly-like mass threatens a small town. A teenager played by Steve McQueen tries to warn the adults. The 1958 version belongs on our retro-monster programme: a simple threat that brings distrust between generations into the foreground.
