Terror in the Midnight Sun

1958 / NR / 72 min

An unidentified flying object, at first thought to be a meteor, lands in the mountains of North Sweden's Lapland sector. From the start, the circumstances are thought to be highly unusual and expert Dr. Vance Wilson is summoned to Stockholm to investigate. Assigned to assist him in unraveling the mystery is geologist and handsome heartbreaker Eric Engstroem. What started off as a routine investigation takes a sinister turn when multitudes of mountain animals are found indiscriminately butchered. Diane Wilson, Dr. Wilson's precocious niece, makes herself part of the expedition and soon has Eric starting an investigation of a different sort. This leads to an interesting romantic tangent that displays both Sweden's breathtaking topography and the lovers' skiing skills to complete advantage. When the mysterious object is finally revealed as an alien spacecraft, a gargantuan monster is already wreaking havoc amongst the terrified Laps. Soon, Diane is also kidnapped by it, and Terror in the Midnight Sun quickly escalates to a hair-raising climax.
