SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its sincere science-fiction premise, vivid effects work, and escalating giant-creature spectacle closely match the imaginative, optimistic Showa-era energy of The X from Outer Space.
02
Why this pick
A space mission, enigmatic extraterrestrials, and bold colour-saturated monster action offer the same blend of cosmic mystery and cheerfully grand special-effects adventure.
03
Why this pick
Its astronauts accidentally bringing an alien threat back from space makes it an especially direct companion, with similarly colourful late-1960s effects and pulpy urgency.
04
Why this pick
It shares the period’s tactile Japanese sci-fi imagination and an invasive extraterrestrial-like organism, but shifts the tone toward eerie, isolated body horror.
05
Why this pick
For the same era’s surreal alien-invasion flavour, this delivers striking colour design, strange cosmic imagery, and a more feverish, claustrophobic mood.

01 / THE STORY
The spaceship ''AAB Gamma'' is dispatched from Japan to travel to Mars to investigate reports of UFOs in the area. When the ''Gamma'' nears the red planet, it comes across a mysterious alien vessel that sprays the ship with spores. Samples are taken back to Earth where one of them begins to develop.
