The Angry Red Planet

Watch The Angry Red Planet (1959) online on iFILM — an American sci-fi horror film directed by Ib Melchior, starring Gerald Mohr and Naura Hayden. Mankind's first crewed mission to Mars comes back after weeks of radio silence. Two survivors. One unconscious. The other barely speaking.

What they found on the surface is pieced together through flashback: massive predatory creatures, carnivorous vegetation, and a red haze that seems to push back against the visitors rather than simply surround them. Melchior shot the Martian sequences through a high-contrast red filter process he called Cinemagic — low-budget by Hollywood standards and genuinely alien-looking for it.
