GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Tor Johnson-Lugosi I have no idea why other reviewers are upbeat about this one. First, it barely qualifies as sci-fi; it's mostly a dry melodrama. The plot involves scientist Paul Frees who discovers an alien fungus that grows in his lab and kills him passively (looking mostly like a hunk of wet canvas). But the majority of the movie involves his estranged wife, supposedly a carrier of the fungus; she is constantly on the run, believing she's criminally involved with his death. We never ever see the monster in action, we only glimpse it a few anticlimactic moments. The stuff shows up in a freight car, in her apartment, but illogically, she is never affected by it; nor do we ever see it attack anyone. The film ends with stock footage of an airplane making an emergency landing.And that's all you get. If you want better fare along these lines, try MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE. This one's totally forgettable.

Theo Robertson An American space probe is sent in to space and it brings back an unwanted life form which the scientist who discovers it dubs " blood rust " . After being infected by it the scientist dies and investigators discover his assistant might be a carrier for the blood rust Reading the synopsis for SPACE MASTER X-7 II was entirely convinced this was going to be an American B movie version of THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT with a spaceship returning to Earth containing rubbery fungus monsters which was a popular theme in 50s science fiction when humanity were sending probes in to space . . There are blobby monsters of sorts but in some ways this movie resembles a precursor to THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN with scientists fighting an alien menace in much the same way as they'd fight an evolving Earth bound mutating virus . It is produced in a documentary style detective type story but you're never able to consistently buy in to this style or scenario . As I said it's definite B movie pulp SF no matter what pretensions the film has and this is reflected in the rather cheap production values and not very good cast as they try and make the fantastic seem plausible and everything about seems dated

RanchoTuVu A scientist takes a collection of material that was gathered in outer space by a satellite to his own private laboratory, which is located in his desert house. His ex-wife shows up and a fight ensues over custody of their son, who's at a boarding school. As he's busy analyzing this material, which he refers to as blood rust, the ex-wife interrupts the work enough for him to relent on the question of custody, so that he can work in peace. However, the fungus blood rust replicates itself quite fast. Will it destroy life on earth or will the other scientists and police agencies locate the one person (the ex-wife) who had come into contact with it and decontaminate her in time? Personally, I didn't really care either way. The best part of the film was seeing Moe Howard as the taxi driver who drives the ex-wife from the house, and is later questioned by the authorities. It seemed as if he was trying to keep a lid on the Stooge background and play the scene straight. However, once a Stooge, always a Stooge. The rest of the film seemed to squander the intriguing storyline, either through lack of adequate funding, or poor management of the action (although there are a few scenes that present the disturbing menace of the blood rust fungus).

geg1043 As a 12 year old, this was the most mind blowing movie of my childhood. Much more scary than the "A" movie, The Fly (great movie), released with it. I would always think that the mold would get into the house and eat me away (something like Necrotizing Fasciitis). Even though this movie is in B&W, the movie, for me, was much scarier than the BLOB. This is one of the two most psyche scaring movies of my childhood...the other being GOG. Honorable mention for this segment would go to the Crawling Eye, Invasion of the Saucermen, and War of the Satellites. My dad was a sci-fi nut as much as me and the two of us would see every new release as soon as they came out. These movies are very much part of my upbringing/childhood. I would love to get a copy of Blood Rust/SpaceMaster X7.
