Zombies From Outer Space are invading Germany in teaser trailer

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Do I really need to say anything other than the fact that this movie is called ZOMBIES FROM OUTER SPACE to get you to check out the trailer and poster below? I didn’t think so.

As the title suggests, the German film is a throwback to the alien invasion movies of the ’50s. Self-described as the first folkloristic Bavarian 50′s B-Movie ever made, the plot is as follows:

Bavaria in the late fifties. One day the life of Maria, a young girl, changes when she stumbles upon the dead body of an woman. Scientist Dr. Robert Hölzlein and the American lieutenant John Welles, stationed in Bavaria, are commissioned to solve what is obviously a murder case. But trouble seems inevitable as both are interested in the beautiful Maria.

As more and more dead women are discovered in the area, along with mysterious sightings of unidentified flying objects, fear and mistrust grows among the inhabitants.

While inspecting a crop circle Lieutenant Welles finds a dead alien, and an autopsy of the strange corpse leads Hölzlein to a terrible conclusion. Too late he discovers the connection between the dead women and the inexplicable UFO visitations. Before he can alert the population, however, undead aliens rise from their tombs beneath crop circles throughout the district, their aim to destroy humanity. Will the two rivals, Robert and John, realise in time that their only chance for survival is to work together?

The film is written and directed by Martin Faltermeier. It is currently in post-production with plans to play film festivals next year followed by an eventual DVD release. Let’s hope someone good picks up the rights for an English subtitled copy. An official trailer is expected soon.
