Voyage To The Prehistoric Planet

In the year 2020, a team of researchers are sent to search for life on Venus, which they find teeming with alien creatures. The rugged terrain produces discoveries both astonishing and deadly - tentacled plants that feed on human flesh, savage lizard men and mammoth dinosaurs grazing on hillsides. The explorers pursue their mission, driven by an ethereal female voice which haunts their every move.

Voyage To The Prehistoric Planet paired landmark special effects and action sequences acquired from the Soviet science fiction film Planeta Burg with dramatic performances from Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue. Director Curtis Harrington is credited as John Sebastian. Production Manager Gary Kurtz went on to produce Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and The Dark Crystal.
