Journey to the Seventh Planet |

|
Denmark, 1962
|

|
Starring John Agar. Directed by Sidney W. Pink. Astronauts on a trip to Uranus (and don't think you won't be giggling about "Uranus" jokes the whole time) meet up with a giant brain who can project convincing illusions into the astronauts' minds. Initially these illusions are quite pleasant, including a bevy of lovely young women who are eager to please, but when the explorers reject these mirages in favor of hard, cold reality, the brain turns nasty. Look out for the one-eyed rat-dragon! |
