aka Space Vampires. Space Zombies.
"It is possible therefor to control the astroman remotely."
The announcement of Tura Satana's death prompted me to seek out one of her movies I'd never seen. And so to The Astro Zombies...The authorities are worried about a spate of murders. What they don't know is that the disgruntled and severly whacked off his gourd Dr. DeMarco (John Carradine) has just been sacked by the Space Agency, and has been using the murders to obtain body parts to create an Astroman. Unfortunately for everyone he loses control of his creation, which quiet naturally goes on a killing spree...And where does Tura fit into this? Well she plays the sadistic leader of a spy ring that gets involved.
An example of the so bad it's good film genre, especially if you like the idea of watching John Carradine fiddling with lab equipment endlessly! The leaden pacing almost sent me to sleep, and it was only the appearances of Tura that livened it up, as she slaps and shoots her way through the film, in a succession of silk evening wear!
