Ammutinamento nello spazio

On the way from the moon to the space station, a fungus breaks out on the rocket and it's alarming how quickly the stuff is spreading. Unfortunately, the Commander seems to be space sick and won't even listen to the warnings by some of his crew. Instead, he orders the ship to continue towards the station, and it ends up spreading the fungus there as well. To make it worse, the fungus kills! If the Commander doesn't relent, mutiny is sure to break out sooner or later.

This movie is a mixed bag. The special effects are pretty shabby (particularly the space footage), though that's pretty much true of ALL space films made before "2001". The dialog is pretty sexist at times...again, a product of the times. But the story itself is actually pretty good as the megalomaniacal angle was pretty good and makes the film worth your time if you like this sort of thing.

While this movie was made just a few years prior to 2001 A Space Odyssey, it seems very much a throwback to the decade prior. I watched it with that level of suspension of disbelief, treating it like 1950s B science fiction, and found it fast-paced and entertaining. Naturally, the science is not very scientific, but that is never the point in this kind of movie anyway. What I genuinely admire about this little low-budget flick is that all of the actors take their roles seriously, so not only is the acting not half-bad, there are even a few moments where it seems almost to naturalistic. In addition, the screenwriter/s made some attempts at banter between the characters which actually work fairly well. Similarly, we even have a few oblique camera angles and a POV shot of the fungus crawling over the camera lens. None of these little creative flourishes would have found their way into a little movie like this if the technicians involved weren't making some effort.

Mutiny in Outer Space is not a classic, but it is a fun relic for fans of this kind of movie from that era, and it's good that it has managed to survive in the public domain.

Never did see a mutiny. It is more of a space station being contaminated by a fungus. Looks like the station will have to be dispatched before the Earth is fungicides. We are mesmerized by Dolores Faith. But her rubber suit is very clunky. Can the space station be saved or do you feel like something is itching where it should not be itching?

Filmed in six days at a whopping $90,000. And it shows. Could have been a Commander Cody or Captain Midnight quality

William Leslie as Maj. Gordon Towers Dolores Faith as Faith Montaine Pamela Curran as Lt. Connie Engstrom Richard Garland as Col. Frank Cromwell Harold Lloyd Jr. As Sgt. Andrews James Dobson as Dr. Hoffman Ron Stokes as Sgt. Sloan Boyd Holister as Maj. Olsen Gabriel Curtiz as Dr. Stoddard Glenn Langan as Gen. Knowland H. Kay Stephens as Sgt. Engstrom Francine York as Capt. Stevens Joel Smith Carl Crow as Capt. Dan Webber.

In MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE, ice caves have been discovered on the lunar surface. A team is dispatched to gather samples from the caves. On the way back to Earth, the astronauts stop off at Space Station X-7.

Oh no!

It seems they've arrived at a bad time, since the station's commander is under stress from too much time in space, and could be cracking up! In addition to this, the new guests have brought something with them from the moon. Something alien and infinitely dangerous! Then, the obligatory meteor shower hits! All of this has a detrimental effect on the romances on board the station!

As the commander goes increasingly bananas, the alien organism spreads, turning the station into a floating hell!

Sort of THE GREEN SLIME meets THE CAINE MUTINY, this movie is a cheeeze-corn classic, complete with derring-do, fuzzy fungus monsters, and fashionable females in form-fitting uniforms!

Highly entertaining...
