Alien Monster Sci-Fi Film: Terror in the Midnight Sun (1958)

A most unusual monster movie! Taking after American drive-in delights, Terror in the Midnight Sun is a Swedish made giant creature flick that has everything one would expect and a little more: aliens, mutilated livestock, scantily clad girls. But also: skiing, Laplanders, and Swedes. A tour of beautiful Sweden above the arctic circle, Terror in the Midnight Sun is at first a romp through chilly winter sports and then a meteor strikes bringing a terrifyingly funny (and unforgettable) monster that’s out to kill everyone. Echoing Frankenstein, a Laplander lynch mob is formed to tackle the colossal beast in a smashing climax! Terror in the Midnight Sun was also chopped and ruined by American filmmakers and renamed Invasion of the Animal People. This is the original Swedish version.
