After the astronaut escapes from the hospital, he transforms into a monster, attacking everyone who gets in its way.

It looks like a fire sale at MGM, so many titles licensed out by so many small companies. Some transfers very good, some not so good. So true. There are Blu-rays being issued by Shout/Scream Factory, Kino-Lorber, Twilight Time, and MGM itself. Any others?

In the UK there's Arrow (I have the lovely Vincent Price box set), & a lot of United Artist films are released on Blu-ray in France & Germany. The last one I bought from Germany was the western, Valdez Is Coming, very nice.
