Reviews
A ship en route to a space station is attacked by a deadly space fungus. The ship's commander (William Leslie) has succumbed to some sort of space sickness and is determined to press on to their destination - of course, taking the plague with him. Once they arrive, mutiny is their only option if any/all are to survive as the fungus runs riot on the base too. Despite the fact that this was made in 1965, it has a very 1950's look about it; the dialogue isn't quite so stilted and the cast do a decent job here. The effects are very basic, but they don't matter so much - this is just quite good fun.
