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 Not only that, most of the men in her small town have been replaced by aliens as well, and they're marrying the women of the town in hopes of using them to repopulate their species.

Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 2/5 Dec 18, 2002 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers "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. Nov 7, 2013 Full Review Rob Humanick Suite101.com A tongue-in-cheek examination of the ways commitment tends to toy with the male brain. Rated: 4/5 Oct 1, 2011 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Acerbic satire of matrimony Sep 6, 2009 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews One of those many 1950's cheesy hokum low-budget Cold War paranoic sci-fiers. Rated: B- Apr 5, 2009 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 10, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

NiB Y Far from being as campy or cheap as the title suggests. Very ahead of it's time in terms of characters and script. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Dock R Fun to watch for early (bad) special effects and some typical b-movie, forced performances by the actors but ultimately not engaging enough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review John A One of my favorite B-films ever made. A true hidden gem Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The whole movie was just boring, even the action and suspense scenes were boring. I would have given it a lower rating if it wasn't for the leading female. For the 1950s she was very strong. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/20 Full Review Audience Member The best romance movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member not as bad as the title suggests this is a B movie that doesn't feel cheap or like a B movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
