First Man into Space
The picture that leaps ahead of the headlines!
Directed by Robert Day
Produced by Amalgamated Productions
A B-movie creature feature that blends Cold War space-race anxiety with rural horror, as an astronaut's transformation into a blood-hungry mutant stalks the countryside.
The first pilot to leave Earth's atmosphere lands, then vanishes; but something with a craving for blood prowls the countryside...
