Battle of the Worlds

From the height of the Italian sci-fi craze comes this creepy thriller about a runaway asteroid dubbed "The Outsider."

Starring the fantastic Claude Rains, Bill Carter, Umberto Orsini, Maya Brent, and Jaqueline Derval, with cinematography by Marcello Masciocchi. This star-faring thriller comes to you from the Italian genre master known for his "willingness to embrace what others might dismiss as kinda trashy," Antonio Margheriti. - (San Francisco Bay Guardian.)
