Hollywood gangsters kidnap a Beverly Hills socialite in her Cadillac convertible and wisk her off to a remote mountain cabin where a curvy "starlet" in a spandex space suit lands in her "white light" spaceship to bring handsome leading man Robert Clarke a message and to heat up his hormones. One problem with this cosmic encounter - her touch is deadly, so no messing around. Producer-director Ronnie Ashcroft's first feature film venture guided by his friend and mentor Edward D. Wood, Jr., whose "uncredited" help gives this film that unmistakable "scent" of Wood. (Wade Williams)

Edward D. Wood, Jr. served as "consultant" to first time director Ronnie Ashcroft for this Atomic Age cult classic. In it, a geologist living in the woods with his dog has his house taken over first by kidnappers holding an heiress and then by a voluptuous blonde alien in nylons and heels whose flying saucer crashed nearby. It turns out this visitor has arrived to bring a message to the geologist, as well as tempt him with her literally deadly body. A unique fusion of film noir and 1950s sci-fi cheese, THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER is an entertaining and frequently hilarious cult classic.
