Not of This Earth

Trailer—Not of This Earth

In the 80's it was par-for-the-course for studios to remake old schlocky 50's sci-fi movies with 80's permissiveness and gloopy effects. So, it shouldn't be too surprising to learn that Roger Corman signed off a remake of one of his own films, the cult item Not of This Earth from '57. With the remake, they have stuck very close to the original with its story of an enigmatic stranger from another world who comes to Earth to procure blood to save his war torn planet; he hypnotises a doctor and gets him to hire out his sexy nurse to help him achieve his dastardly plan. The surprise trump card here is former jail-bait * star Traci Lords, who appears in the nurse role, originally played by 50's favourite Beverly Garland. This was Lords first legit role and she is very good really - she's charismatic and sparky throughout and a lot better than you could reasonably expect. The movie overall is solidly entertaining and kind of on a par with the original I reckon.

A nurse (Traci Lords- in her first mainstream film role) is assigned to take of an elderly recluse (Arthur Roberts) with a rare blood disorder. In reality, he is an alien vampire who is using the blood from the transfusions to save his dying planet. Ultra campy remake of the 1957 Roger Corman classic is mainly a showcase for the talents of Traci Lords and to show off the director's colorful style. Rated R.

this is a really fun flick-very funny and sexy and chockablock with busty babes and bad gags. good old fashioned sleazy entertainment! the kind of goofy nudie that cormans cohorts used to make all the time-shameless swiping of other flicks and making sure nekkidness is the norm. including the last time traci lords was * in a film! also check out ava and becky's cameos. a must see for all pc hating heteros!

Scandalous underage * stars, especially if they boast the sultry succulence of infamous jail bait Traci Lords, do not simply fade into the smoggy California sunset once they reach 18 years of age. They go mainstream, which accounts for the existence of Not of This Earth (1988). A remake of a 1957 Roger Corman sci-fi horror flick, this late 1980s version updates the original with a thoroughly- modern surplus of plump and quivering, comely female chest flesh. Fans of the candy-striper * will be pleased to see tasty Traci parading around as a private nurse to a bloodthirsty alien. Connoisseurs of red-blooded romance will be happy to note that the space freak feasts on a high-school hussy, three hookers and a strip-o-gram gal, most of whom fish out the floppers prior to falling prey.

This was a cheesy remake of the cheesy original "Not Of This Earth". They seem to have kept the plot and most of the dialogue intact while throwing in a lot of large-busted topless nudity. All that made it memorable for me was Traci Lords starting a "legitimate" film career after fooling a lot of people for a long time. While she's no Meryl Streep, she has talent and an undeniable screen presence. I think her previous career has limited her opportunities....but without it, how many opportunities would she have had? Back to the movie...I think they had fun making it, and left in some bloopers for viewers to find. Look for the scene where a car door is shut and you can see one of the crew, holding a boom mike, reflected in the shiny metal.
