Martian Nyah (Patricia Laffan) lands on earth and goes to an inn in the
middle of nowhere, Scotland, to look for male humans for mating purposes
... nope, she's not a slut on the pull, Mars just needs more men, that's
all.
The inn somehow resembles the ship of the doomed, there is a pretty
girl, Ellen (Hazel Court), running away from her past, a cynical
newspaperman, Michael (Hugh McDermott), who'd just love to be somewhere
else, an escaped convict on the run, Robert (Peter Reynolds), his
girlfriend Doris (Adrienne Cori), who desperately tries to hid him, the
aged couple of inkeepers (Sophie Stewart, John Laurie), and of course the
old Professor (Joseph Tomelty). Thing is, they ll find out that Nyah
really means business, and that she wants to destroy them and what not ...
but she offers to take one of them with her, so our brave humans decide
that whoever it will be has to destroy her terribly advanced spaceship
(and kill himself in the process) to save the others. And who will our
hero be ? Why of course the escaped convict trying to atone for his sins
...
Of course, this is a silly film, graced with cheap special effects -
Nyah's robot sidekick is worth a special mention - and a stupid story
set--up - an alien conqueror comes to a Sottich pub -, but interestingly,
while comparable fare from the USA would feature only the most wooden
actors on a bad day, Devil Girls from Mars features a bunch of really
accomplished thespians who make this film look better than it actually is
- and believe me, it's bad ... but maybe bad in a good way ...
