Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Zontar, the thing from Venus is a 1966 made for TV Sci-Fi Horror film about an alien from Venus named Zontar, and its attempt at taking over Earth with the aid of an idealistic but embittered human scientist. Directed by self-proclaimed "schlockmeister" Larry Buchanan and featuring a screenplay by Buchanan and Hillman Taylor, it's a low-budget, 16mm film color remake of Roger Corman's It Conquered the World, which also featured an alien invader from Venus.At a dinner party with their wives, NASA scientist Dr. Keith Ritchie (Tony Huston) reveals to his colleague Dr. Curt Taylor (John Agar) that he has secretly been in communication with a three-eyed, bat-winged alien from Venus named Zontar who he claims is coming to Earth to solve all of the world's problems. However, as soon as Zontar arrives on Earth via a fallen laser satellite it quickly becomes obvious that the skeletal black creature has a hidden agenda.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film was commisioned to pad out one of American International's television syndication packages and became one of Buchanan's best-known works. | |
