A page article from the March 1978 issue of ABC Film Review. This 1977 Sci-fi horror  receives a 4 rating on the IMDb, but this didn’t stop the super 8 collectors making this a popular purchase. An astronaut is transformed into a murderous gelatinous mass after returning from an ill-fated space voyage. The 400′ release was issued by Ken Films and had UK distribution by Mountain Films. Box label courtesy of Super8DataBase.

    This was my first purchase at the time of release of the brand new vinyl/plastic 400’ clamshell cases. I was so impressed by the beautiful packaging that I wrote a letter to KEN FILMS saying how much I enjoyed the new cases. Little did I know at the time that film needs air circulation to slow down or prevent VS and color fade.
