Long before Alien made deep space terrifying, Mario Bava took audiences on a chilling journey to an unexplored planet where something very wrong was waiting.
In Planet of the Vampires, the crew of the spaceship Galliott responds to a distress signal from the mysterious planet Aura. But their mission quickly turns into a nightmare as crew members begin attacking one another, leaving the survivors to face an unseen force that brings paranoia, possession and deadly chaos.
Directed by genre legend Mario Bava ( Blood and Black Lace ), this atmospheric 1965 sci-fi horror classic has earned its place in movie history. Its striking production design, eerie atmosphere and imaginative visuals helped establish a blueprint for films like Alien and Pitch Black . Now, fans can experience the film with a stunning new 4K restoration.
