Review of Terror in the Midnight Sun

I gave this motion picture a 5 out of 10 mainly for the female lead - Barbara Wilson is not the greatest actress but she certainly is easy on the eyes - and the creature effects, especially the scenes with scale model structures and tents, which put me in mind of Dawson Palmer in the palm tree bark-covered union suit as the cyclops for "Lost In Space" (the pilot and the first season episode "There Were Giants In The Earth"). *Spoiler alert* The story had potential: was the creature an experimental animal, a pet being transported in a flight gone wrong, or a prisoner of the mysterious pointed-head aliens? Fleshing out any of those would have made for an interesting plot turn. Instead we are left wondering why it landed on Earth, and why did it kill men but protect a woman? Why didn't it defend itself at the end? A better script (and a little less skiing) would have elevated this movie above the MSTK-3000 worthy "B" movie it actually is.
