DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS
Invasion from Outer Space!...Sights too weird to imagine! Destruction too monstrous to escape!
An uptight, leather-clad female alien, armed with a raygun and accompanied by a menacing robot, comes to Earth to collect Earth's men as breeding stock
Quick Answer
Devil Girl from Mars is a 1954 United Kingdom horror and science fiction film directed by David MacDonald about a Martian woman who lands in the Scottish moors to abduct Earth men as breeding stock.
Programmer's Pick
The only thing colder than the Scottish moors is Nyah’s attitude toward humanity. Devil Girl from Mars delivers a raygun-wielding villainess, a robot with all the subtlety of a bulldozer, and a Scottish inn that becomes ground zero for Martian matchmaking.
