This film is typical of a made-for-TV movie. A remake of 1958's "I Married a Monster from Outer Space," it comes off second best. It is nowhere near as slick, well written or well acted as the original.

Tom Tryon and Gloria Talbott were far more effective in the lead parts than former soap star Richard Burgi and TV vet Susan Walters. To be fair, Walters' acting was adequate, but Burgi's uninspired performance cast a shroud over the whole production.

On the plus side, effective use was made of the technology, and the FX were not, for the most part, overdone.

If you have a couple of hours to kill, this movie will do the job. If you like the genre and want to see a better film, rent the original.

I MARRIED A MONSTER is an ill-advised late '90s remake of the 1950s B-movie sci-fi classic I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE. In this version, the story has been modernised to the then-present day, with a situation and bunch of characters who look like they belong in some insipid daytime soap rather than a decent sci-fi film.

And, at the risk of being sexist, I'd say this was a film aimed at the housewife market. It's a safe, non-confrontational production, in which the scares are diluted and the sci-fi elements handled in that embarrassingly cheesy way so beloved of the decade. The TV movie budget means we're saddled with weak scripting and even worse special effects.

Future DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star Richard Burgi plays a suburban husband whose trip into the woods at night sees him returning changed...somehow. There's a mildly successful air of mystery surrounding the production, and a few eerie scenes reminiscent of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, but it's weak overall. It doesn't help that there are some AWFUL CGI effects used to animate the aliens which make the entire climax a laughing stock. As usual, stick with the original for the best version of the story.

This remake of the classic, I married a Monster from Outer Space, is a very enjoyable piece of sci fi cotton candy, without any deep insights to be gained, but a nice way to spend an evening and preferable to watching crappy sitcoms or dumb reality shows. There's nothing really scary in it and there are nice moments of humor as we watch the alien become acclimated to human habits and behavior. Kind of a more serious version of the "Third Rock" sitcom, and actually not as good as it. Yet it is nicely paced and doesn't slack off or run dry, and it's seemingly a bit oriented towards the womens' point of view, likely since it is directed by a woman and that makes it all the more interesting. I saw it on VHS which was fun because all of the points where the commercials are cut in instead cut to the next scene, which gave me a nice sense of relief each time it happened. With several nifty scenes of aliens and effects, it's definitely worth the $2 I paid for it, and I have no qualms about watching it with my any girls who can't stand scary films, but like soap opera. They'll dig it.

This movie got extremely silly when things started to happen. I couldn't care less about any of the characters; Susan Walters was so annoying, and the leading actor (forget his name) also got on my nerves. Can't quite remember how it ended and so forth but the whole idea of aliens possessing human bodies and all just seemed stupid in this film, things didn't quite carry off. My dad told me it's s stupid movie...I should've listened to him.

Nick and Kelly are ready to be married but Travis (Kelly's dog) leads Nick to a strange blue wall that will change the honeymoon for Kelly. Richard Burgi and Susan Walters play Nick and Kelly and make a good couple. Nick loves to drink, smoke, and play pool with the fellas for fun but Nick suddenly abstains from this type of fun. Sex is the one thing that he loves because he wants a child. We find out that an alien race is dying and needs to interbreed with women from Earth to save their population. It becomes a battle of survival between humans and aliens with the dog population also being involved. A fine film.

I thought the original of this film was quaint and charming as well as having me sitting on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out.

Since I had already seen the original, when I saw this on Sci Fi Channel- I don't know if this remake was deliberately made for Sci Fi - I knew what it was within the first few minutes. Since I like Richard Burgi as a character actor, I wanted to see how he would pull it off.

The writers/producers etc, modernized the film a bit by trying to explain the plight of the "aliens" (They could no longer reproduce their own kind and needed help) using the same pseudo science that has been crammed in our ears in the 90's. Maybe it added a bit of polish to the film, or not.

This film. Film? This production takes on a more sinister edge than the original did- The original ended with a confrontation between the young woman and the alien and an understanding of sorts took place, although no resolution of the Alien's problem.

I sort of remember that in this remake, the woman became rather hostile towards the Burgi/Alien- I think it could have ended better. But the ending is just the ending, and the yarn is a swell yarn, being of the basic 1958 Science Fiction Pulp Stock. Many great science fiction stories were written in the 50's and some of them even made it to film.

This is a swell thing to watch on like a rainy day or something. I rate it highly cos of all the remakes of old 50's Sci Fi, this one came off well. I actually enjoyed this quite a bit.

But if anyone really wants to see this story told WELL, I suggest the original 1958 version with Tom Tyron and Gloria Talbott, directed by Gene Fowler Jr.

In Blue Falls town, Nicholas 'Nick' David Farrell (Richard Burgi) and Kelly Victoria Drummond (Susan Walters) will get married on the next day. While driving home late night, Nick stops his car since Kelly's dog is in the middle of the road. He runs after the dog and sees a weird bubble in the forest. On the next day, he arrives late at the wedding and seems to be absent-minded during the ceremony. In their honeymoon, they have some friction, but Kelly believes is caused because now they are married. Soon, Nick changes his behavior, and stops drinking, smoking and joking. When their best friends Steve (Tim Ryan) and Linda (Barbara Niven) decide to get married, Kelly asks Linda to postpone her marriage, but her friend does not agree. Kelly and Linda find that they are pregnant, but soon there is a tragedy and Kelly discovers what is happening in Blue Falls.

"I Married a Monster" (1998) is a remake absolutely unnecessary of the "I Married a Monster from Outer Space" (1958). The story of a dying alien breed that wants to survive has few modifications, basically composed by updates, from the original movie. However, the storyline is the same. Although forgettable, this version is also entertaining. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Os Possuidores" ("The Owners")

Sure it's "cheap SciFi", *but* it sticks to the plot of the original "I Married a Monster from Outer Space" (1958) with some interesting CG embellishments. For my money, it's just as good as the original. The feel and look of the 1998 version also are different, perhaps because it was directed by a woman. I found IMM an intriguing remake, and I'd like to own both it and the 1958 version on a DVD, particularly if we could get the principals of both to talk about the differences between the two versions.

This movie, in my opinion, is cheap science fiction entertainment. The idea of using human host for alien reproduction is totally cheesy. An alien race using female humans in a desperate attempt to populate their species. What brings to my mind: does that mean we as human beings are 100% compatible genetically with other extraterrestrial beings somewhere out in the solar system? Despite it all, I admire the computer graphic effects.

Nicholas 'Nick' David Farrell (Richard Burgi) and Kelly Victoria Drummond (Susan Walters) get married. Nick changes his evil ways (or Maby gains some) as he stops drinking, smoking. At least he did not change his opinion on making babies. I do not think that is what makes him a monster. We will have to wait and see as the story unfolds.

When they need an updated version of "It Came from Outer Space, "It Came from Outer Space II (1995), better graphics were added. However, they lost the original feel of, "It Came from Outer Space (1953).

Yes, the graphics were updated in this movie. But you are in luck. This movie maintains the feel and the pathos of the original movie "I Married a Monster from Outer Space." It may even be better. The actors do not overwhelm the characters. And in several places, you even feel like saying "stay in the car." I would trust these people with a remake of " Them!"

In the meantime, another new sci-fi movie worth watching is "Out There" (1995) ~ Bill Campbell, Wendy Schaal, Rod Steiger, and Jill St. John

This movie may be expensive but well worth it.

This picture for me scores very highly as it is a hugely enjoyable and amusing spoof of Alien Invaders taking over a town and many of its' men folk.

The town and the players are all decked out in sort of 1950's style and the whole movie has a deliberate tacky and kitschy feel to it. Some of the scenes are hilarious like with the birth of an alien creature.

All the actors give full blooded and serious performances which makes the film even funnier and the special effects and Aliens are at least it seems to me intentionally 3rd rate to add to the amusement.

These type of films often deserve a cult following:

8/10.
