The Brain from Planet Arous
Science-Fiction's most astounding story!
Directed by Nathan Juran
Produced by Marquette Productions Ltd.
A campy 1950s sci-fi B-movie about alien brain possession that balances genuine paranoia with B-movie absurdity and period charm.
An evil alien brain, bent on world domination, takes over the body of an atomic scientist, while a "good" alien brain inhabits the body of the scientist's dog and waits for an opportunity to defeat the evil brain.
