Unearthly Stranger
A scientist is removed from a sensitive research project after his wife is suspected of being an alien, in this eerie sci-fi from director John Krish.
Director: John Krish
Overview
A cleverly conceived, eerily atmospheric sci-fi thriller, Unearthly Stranger stars John Neville as a scientist engaged in an experimental teleportation project; Gabriella Licudi is his beautiful but otherworldly wife, who becomes suspected of being an alien agent.
This original, intelligent and compelling feature from award-winning Avengers director John Krish is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
