This is your average bodysnatcher movie. Not my favorite kind of movie. Also the direction and acting is below average. Special effects are okay for a direct-to-DVD movie. But I really was bothered by the action scenes outside the building. They had only a few small covers where the soldier hide behind and are managing to keep thousands of bugs at bay while having idle conversations. This is just poor direction.
The story is very unoriginal, but if you like bodysnatcher movies, this one is watchable.

Plot:
Death and debauchery reign in the castle of Prince Prospero (Vincent Price), and when it reigns...it pours! Prospero has only one excuse for his diabolical deeds - the devil made him do it! But when a mysterious, uninvited guest crashes his pad during a masquerade ball, there'll be hell to pay as the party atmosphere turns into a danse macabre!

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Audio Commentary
• Feature Trailers
• Gallery
• Interviews
• Introduction by Vincent Price

This is one of Vincent Price's films I never seen before. I must say I enjoyed it very much. The story line easily kept my attention through out the film... and I found the visuals to be done very well. The vibrant colors they used seem to add to the story. And I found the entire cast to be great. This is one I would really like to add to my own collection.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion (Space Patrol)



What's the show about?
Wikipedia article

This is a german classic. It came out in the same year as Star Trek (1966). The fast space cruiser Orion 7 under the command of Major McLane protects Earth from any extraterrestrial threats, especially a race that the Humans call "the Frogs".

"Angriff aus dem All" ("Attack From Space")My Opinion
As I said: A german classic even if it only lasted for 7 episodes. The command style is not unlike that of a certain James T. Kirk and the Orion 7 crew is also very international - ok the actors are all german, but it's the idea that counts.
