Marge (Gloria Talbott) is worried about her husband, Bill (Tom Tryon). Ever since they got married, he has acted oddly, almost without emotion. When he leaves to go for a walk one night, Marge follows him and discovers that the man she married isn't a man at all, but an alien replacement of her love. Not only that, most of the men in her small town have been replaced by aliens as well, and they're marrying the women of the town in hopes of using them to repopulate their species.

"I Married a Monster From Outer Space" is surprisingly well-acted. Everyone is dead serious, and not in a campy way as the title might suggest. It works. There are even some genuinely chilling moments.

A tongue-in-cheek examination of the ways commitment tends to toy with the male brain.

Lacks the polish of the science fiction classics of that era...but it shares the sincerity and appealing earnestness...

I almost didnt watch it because of the title but im glad I did...I really loved seeing Gloria Talbott who was excellent(she was terrific in " we re no angels" with Humphrey Bogart and a true comedic gem )..the movie definately had drama through-out with good special effects for its time..while obviously not a classic it was pretty entertaining and would recommend to any sci-fi buff who wants to add to their repertoire

Far from being as campy or cheap as the title suggests. Very ahead of it's time in terms of characters and script.

Fun to watch for early (bad) special effects and some typical b-movie, forced performances by the actors but ultimately not engaging enough.
