directed by Jack Arnold
featuring Richard Carlson, Barbara Rush, Charles Drake, Russell Johnson, Kathleen Hughes

It Came From Outer Space is one of a handful of science fiction films from the 1950s that plays as well today as it did on its original release, this despite the fact that its original 3-D elements seem to be lost.

Retreat, Hell!

Retreat, Hell! (1952) more movies like this

directed by Joseph H. Lewis
featuring Frank Lovejoy, Richard Carlson, Russ Tamblyn, Anita Louise, Ned Young

Retreat, Hell! is out of favor with most disciples of director Joseph H. Lewis, partly because it was a major-studio release, whereas Lewis' cult classics were made on shoestring budgets for independent producers. Despite this "handicap," Retreat, Hell! holds up beautifully when seen today. The faintly scatological title is based on a defiant ...
