In what was his farewell performance Michael Rennie leads a cast of mostly German and Spanish players in a German-Spanish production of Monsters Versus Aliens. Rennie is a rather bloodless alien, reading the lines of this awful film rather bloodlessly.
As an alien scientist who has taken over a deserted abbey for his nefarious experiments, Rennie feels that if we can revive all the old legendary monsters of earth yore, it will panic the earth's populace and the monsters will leave so much destruction that the earth will be relatively easy to subjugate.
Naturally things don't quite work out and if you want to see this film to find out how and why, be warned. Michael Rennie who was in some great films and in one of the great science fiction films in The Day The Earth Stood Still must have needed a paycheck bad to participate in this. He died a year later and I certainly hope he wasn't doing this to help pay the medical bills.
