MASTER OF VENUS - 1962 SERIAL ADVENTURE
A wonderful old fashioned children;s adventure in serial form!
A spaceship from Earth lands on the planet Venus, and encounters a race of beings
that the crew begins to suspect are descended from the lost city of Atlantis.
This was an eight-part childrens serial, made by the Childrens Film Foundation in
England. They made films specifically for Saturday Morning Cinema Clubs in the
50's,60's and 70's. As a result these films rarely turn up on t.v or video and sadly,
remain mostly forgotten except by those who attended. This particular offering
tells of two children who's father has built a rocket. Escaping from some sinister
Men in Black (Complete with ray guns), they blast off into space only to land on
Venus. From a rather neat first few episodes it becomes a bit of a tedious run
around concerning the "Flash Gordon" style Venusians. The special effects are
low-budget, but as good as any 50's B movie. The story is very simplistic, and with
episode titles like "Lost in Space," and "The Thing in the Crater",it has enough
charm to satisfy the nostalgics,
EPISODES:
SABOTAGE!
LOST IN SPACE
THE THING WITH SIX FINGERS
THE THING IN THE CRATER
PRISONERS OF VENUS
THE KILLER VIRUS
KILL ON SIGHT
ATTACK!
