About Zontar: The Thing from Venus
A misguided scientist enables an alien from Venus named Zontar to come to earth in order to "help solve man's problems". However, as soon as Zontar arrives on Earth, it quickly becomes obvious that the three-eyed, bat-winged, skeletal black creature has a hidden agenda.
Directed by Larry Buchanan, Zontar: The Thing from Venus leans on a strong ensemble — John Agar, Susan Bjurman, Tony Huston — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1967.
