''Queen of Blood'' is a 1966 horror-science fiction film released by American International Pictures. Director Curtis Harrington crafted this B-movie using footage from the Soviet films ''Mechte Navstrechu'' and ''Nebo Zovyot''. ''Queen of Blood'' stars John Saxon, Basil Rathbone, Judi Meredith and Dennis Hopper and was released as part of a double bill with the AIP film ''Blood Bath''. ==Plot== The year is 1990 and space travel is well-established since humans landed on the moon twenty years earlier. At the International Institute of Space Technology, communications expert and astronaut Laura James monitors strange signals being received from outer space. Laura's superior, Dr. Faraday, translates the signal and discovers that it is from an alien race who are sending an ambassador to Earth. However, soon after this Laura receives a video log showing that the aliens have suffered an accident to their ship and have crashed on Mars. The Institute launches a rescue mission on board the ''Oceano'', including Laura, and astronauts Anders Brockman and Paul Grant. The ''Oceano'' travels through a sunburst, suffering some damage but makes it to Mars and locates the alien craft. Anders and Paul go to investigate and discover a single dead alien. Faraday deduces that the rest of the alien crew must have left in a rescue ship; an observation satellite will be needed to locate the rescue ship. Laura's fiancé Allan volunteers along with fellow astronaut Tony. They travel in the ship ''Meteor'' to Phobos, one of Mars' moons, where they launch the observation satellite. Tony sees another craft from the window of the ''Meteor''. He and Allan enter it and find a living female alien. Allan and Tony take the alien back to the rescue ship. As the ship only holds two people, one of them must stay behind. They toss a coin and Tony decides to stay. Allan and the alien arrive on the ''Oceano'', joining Laura, Paul and Anders. The alien regains consciousness and smiles at the three men, but not Laura. She refuses to eat all food offered and will not let Anders take a blood sample. That night, as Paul is guarding the alien, she attacks and kills him, draining his blood after hypnotizing him. The surviving astronauts decide to keep the alien alive by feeding her blood from the ship's supply of plasma. This eventually runs out and the alien kills Anders, leaving Laura and Allan as the only humans on board the ship. The alien then attacks Allan, but Laura interrupts the queen before she can kill him. Laura scratches the alien, who screams in terror and quickly bleeds to death. Laura and Allen then find alien eggs hidden in the ship. Allan hypothesizes that the alien was royalty (hence her hemophilia) sent to Earth to breed. The ship lands safely, but Earth authorities decide to study the eggs rather than destroy them outright as Allan urges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queen of Blood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
