A low-budget 1960s sci-fi horror about a vampire alien loose on a spacecraft, blending paranoia and strangeness with the aesthetic constraints of early space-age cinema.

A spaceship is sent to Mars after an alien distress signal is picked up. They find one survivor, but when a crew member is found drained of blood it's evident they have rescued a bloodsucking monster. Uses footage from Encounter in Space (1963).
