STUDIOCANAL is releasing a brand-new restoration of the Amicus Productions’ cult 60s sci-fi horror “They Came From Beyond Space” on the 8th of March 2021.

Starring Robert Hutton, Jennifer Jayne, Zia Mohyeddin, Michael Gough, and Bernard Kay, “They Came From Beyond Space” is an enjoyably camp B-movie from the Amicus producers with a British retro treat.

Meteors descend on Earth, specifically Cookham in Berkshire where the majority of the film is shot, and aliens proceed to bodysnatch humans for their own ends.

“They Came from Beyond Space” recycled sets and props from another Amicus production, “Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.”, reportedly to save costs. Released in cinemas as a double-feature with “The Terrornauts“, it’s claimed that there were no funds left for “They Came from Beyond Space” as “The Terrornauts” had gone over budget, which only goes to show how tight the financing was for both science-fiction films.

The soundtrack was by the avantgarde composer James Stevens, who also worked on the score for “Sparrows Can’t Sing“, and the film was edited by Peter Musgrave who started in film as the assistant sound editor on classic Ealing comedies “Passport to Pimlico” and “Kind Hearts & Coronets“, and went on to edit productions including Bond films “Never Say Never Again” with Sean Connery & Barbara Carrera, as well as “The Living Daylights” and “Licence to Kill” with Timothy Dalton.

“They Came From Beyond Space” is available to buy on Blu-ray for the first time from the 8th of March 2021, as well as on DVD and digital formats, and includes special extras of an audio commentary with Film Historian David Del Valle and Filmmaker David DeCoteau, and the original UK theatrical trailer.
