Movie Info

Marge (Gloria Talbott) is worried about her husband, Bill (Tom Tryon). Ever since they got married, he has acted oddly, almost without emotion. When he leaves to go for a walk one night, Marge follows him and discovers that the man she married isn't a man at all, but an alien replacement of her love. Not only that, most of the men in her small town have been replaced by aliens as well, and they're marrying the women of the town in hopes of using them to repopulate their species.

Movie Mom
"I Married a Monster From Outer Space" is surprisingly well-acted. Everyone is dead serious, and not in a campy way as the title might suggest. It works. There are even some genuinely chilling moments.

A tongue-in-cheek examination of the ways commitment tends to toy with the male brain.

Lacks the polish of the science fiction classics of that era...but it shares the sincerity and appealing earnestness...

Popular cult film that, like I Walked With a Zombie, has the unfortunate distinction of being a quality picture saddled with a wretched title.

Audience Reviews for I Married a Monster From Outer Space

Mar 24, 2018

like 'the stepford wives' and many others, Gloria talbott is duly concerned when her newly married husband is not nearly as attentive as he was pre-nuptials. does familiarity indeed breed contempt ... or is there another, more sinister, reason??? fun at the drive-in with this forgotten romp in the alien-held woods, as the swamp creatures from another galaxy endeavor, in true 50's style, to impregnate earth women!

OK B-grade flick about a town where all the men are replaced by lookalike aliens. Kinda crappy effects and mediocre performances, but for a movie like this, that's not going to matter that much. A bit like Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets the Stepford Wives. A decent timewaster for a rainy Thursday morning (which is when I saw it.)
