(Rymdinvasion i Lappland)
Invasion of the Animal People
For some, a Viking good time!
For others, a bloody waste of time!
So bad, it’s good some might say
While yet others might suggest
It should never see the light of day.

Trailer
Space Invasion of Lapland is a 1959 Swedish-American black-and-white science fiction-monster film that was heavily re-edited by American producer Jerry Warren and had newly filmed American sequences added. I admit that until recently I was unaware of the existence of this film. Sadly, after viewing it I feel that I have not missed much.
