Not of This Earth (1957) is a fast-paced, entertaining low-budget sci-fi movie with a somewhat dark atmosphere.
The film does seem to raise some interesting ideas. For instance, does a creature not deserve our sympathy just because it is unable show sympathy itself? If it doesn't, what does that say about us? Should we only have sympathy or empathy for beings that can reciprocate?
Watch, enjoy and be prepared to embark on an "adventure into the dimension of the impossible."
