Then she gets better and goes to Switzerland, to meet up with her uncle Doctor Wilson (Robert Burton). From here, the narrative inexplicably shifts to Lapland, which is in Sweden, hundreds of miles away from Switzerland (Sweden and Switzerland don't even share a border, and they're not even particularly close to each other), where uncle and niece meet, and uncle takes niece to investigate an UFO landing and introduces her to young Doctor Engström (Sten Gester), with whom she eventually falls in love. Thing is, while the expedition is out there to investigate the UFO, something - an exttraterrestrial giant beast, as it will later turn out - destroys their airplane, and now Diane and Engström ski off to get help for the others, but eventually, Diane is abducted by the giant beast which also destroys a Lap village before geing hunted down and thrown off a cliff by a Lap lynch mob.<p>There are also some humanoid aliens in the plot, but I have no idea what they are doing.<p> <p>For his first cut-and-paste movie, director Jerry Warren has chosen the Swedish-American co-production <b><a href="terrorinthemidnightsun(1959).shtml">Terror in the Midnight Sun</a></b> - a rather odd choice, because while this film had numerous shortcomings, it at least was based on a very stringent narrative, was filmed in English and had a limited stateside release. Still, Warren though he could somehow improve the film by adding scenes (that make no sense in the context of the actual story), reshuffle scenes around so they're torn out of context, reinterpret dialogue scenes by voice-overs telling the audience what the on-screen actors are supposed to say, and add an introduction featuring John Carradine that has pretty much nothing to do with the actual movie. The result is a cinematic mess - and yet, as a bad movie lover you can't help but maybe not love but at least like the film as it is. <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2010"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
