    TV movie remake trash

    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.

    The Dying Alien Breed

    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.

    Totally enjoyable piece of sci fi fluff

    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.

    Interesting...for the first 20 minutes

    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.

    An Enjoyable Alien Marriage

    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.
