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 Not only that, most of the men in her small town have been replaced by aliens as well, and they're marrying the women of the town in hopes of using them to repopulate their species.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

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

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

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

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.
