TP91 is a secret and highly complex formula which will enable man to project himself through time and space, but when Dr Munro succeeds in solving the first part of it he is found dead before he can pass on the invaluable result. His successor quickly senses that both he and his new wife are now in grave danger. (Network)

The premise is so great that I fancy writing a long review about it so it would attract as many people as possible and this excellent old British sci-fi film would get the recognition it deserves. But that would mean spoiling the surprise. Unearthly Stranger is a minimalistic, paranoid story where an unknown villain liquidates space scientists in an original way. To a certain extent, it’s predictable, and also naive in some details. Nevertheless, for the fans of old-school sci-fi it’s a must-see :)

Unearthly Stranger is a film that manages to pleasantly surprise with the atmosphere that permeates it. After all, you might not expect great sci-fi from the UK, especially without any special effects, but the film simply succeeded, and the paranoia that permeates it is similar to that in movies like The Thing or Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The atmosphere is really worth it.
