　　Out of the fifties 'B' Science-Fiction monster movies, this easily ranks as the best. It's most notable as the film that ALIEN is an unaccredited remake of, thus giving it a certain historical significance.
　　The intriguing plot is about the rescue of the only marooned survivor (Col. Carruthers) of an ill-fated expedition to Mars. The authorities, pig-headed as usual, falsely assume that he murdered his fellow crew members, so that he'd have more provisions to survive; hence he is being brought back to Earth to face court-martial for murder. (There is also a somewhat interesting plot reversal here: Most movies of this nature usually begin with the ship leaving Earth, enroute to its otherworld destination, while, in this case, the "story" is believed finished, and begins as the characters take-off from the other planet, returning to Earth). As the rescue ship is leaving Mars, a lurking, ominous shadow is seen in the lower compartment. (A frightening, atmospheric moment, accomplished through sheer economy and simplicity).
　　Carruthers insists of his innocence to his fellow captors, claiming that his original crew mates were slaughtered by a hostile, unseen presence on the desolute red planet, but three-guesses as to their reaction to his unusual plea. Naturally, he can't prove it, and 50's space authorities were not very alien conscience at the time. (As a side-thought, "unseen menace" may remind you of that highly "original" BLAIR WITCH).
　　As everyone sacks out, a hapless supporting charactor whose name is at the bottom of the casting list (guess what will happen to him?) hears something in the lower compartment. Despite your futile "don't go down there, you jerk!" pleas, he does just that, and is appropriately killed (more like thoroughly obliterated) by the shadowy figure with insatiable blood lust on its mind. In the victim's case, dereliction of duty and sheer cowardliness would have been the wise decision. The scene is actually well-directed (for a change) and develops much suspense, as the entire film surprisingly does.
　　The crew finally catches on that they have an unwanted ship crasher on board, and try every possible means at their disposal to eliminate it, but the unknown creature seems to copping an anti-death attitude. Proving to be an even more clever, worthy adversary, 'IT!' also hides out in the ventilation shafts of the ship (now that should ring a bell). Cahn's forceful direction generates considerable tension as the malevolent stowaway works its way up from one level of the confined ship to the next, eventually leaving the remaining characters trapped at the top. The movie's suspense is blunt and right to the point: "IT!' has to kill them or starve, hence they have to kill "IT!" or die. Nothing like those "no two ways about it" choices. Rent it, or check for it on cable if you wish to know the outcome.
　　For a low-budget quickie, IT! is quite impressive and memorable. The dreaded sense of claustrophobic tension, rendering the characters' helpless entrapment, is highly effective. This is a production in which the limited budget and small sets actually work in favor of the plot's scary ambience. The black & white photography (Yes, it's one of those!) helps to enhance its dark, creepy mood, and the sense of apprehension is quite high. (Modern day color freaks never seem to take that into consideration). The plot is also somewhat cynically ironic: If the creature hadn't stowed away on the ship, Carruthers would have most likely been found guilty of the charges against him.
　　The intelligent script (see what I mean about "rareity") was penned by noted Science-Fiction author Jerome Bixby (remember Twilight Zone's "It's a Good Life")? The picture's taut editing eliminates any extraneous dross. (ALIEN tended to drag in its first hour with its sophomoric dialogue, and why did it have to include that stupid and ultimately counter-productive sub-plot of Ash being a robot, and further dragging the story down to another big bad conspiracy cliche? UNNECESSARY!!!)
　　Director Cahn astutely keeps the rubber-suited monster off-screen and in the shadows through-out most of the proceedings, keeping your paranoid imagination on constant alert. Unfortunately, perhaps at the studio's commercial insistance, it is a little over-revealed at the climax, but I haven't claimed this to be the perfect masterpiece. The performances, though nothing award-winning, are nevertheless cool enough so that one becomes sincerely concerned as to their fates. Not many movies in recent times ever come close to achieving that. They can be over-produced from here to eternity, and usually only succeed in being gloriously annoying.
　　This film's story is not really totally original (what is?), for it is based on A.E. Van Vogt's "VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE." All ALIEN fanatics should track down an old used copy to see where the initial influence came from.
　　As long as you're not craving another CGI wind-ding, you may find it worthwhile. Just don't expect the women to be Ripley precursors. This was still the sock-knitting fifties, sad to say.

　　Doctor X (1932) is a First National/Warner Bros. horror and mystery film. Based on the play originally titled The Terror (New York, February 9, 1931) by Howard W. Comstock and Allen C. Miller,[1] it was directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Lee Tracy, Fay Wray, and Lionel Atwill.
　　The film was produced before the Motion Picture Production Code was enforced. Themes such as murder, rape, cannibalism and prostitution are interwoven into the story. The film was one of the last films made, along with Warners' Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), in the two-color Technicolor process. Black and white prints were shipped to small towns and to foreign markets, while color prints were reserved for major cities.

　　德国表现主义代表作品
　　A
　　公元4世纪的犹太教法典(Talmud)中提到过Rava造golem的事。Rava的全称叫Rabbi Abba ben Rav Hamma，他造了一个不会说话的“人”。他把这个“人”送到Rav Zera面前，由于它对问话没有反应，Zera就说：“你准是由我的某个同行造的。回归尘土吧。” (Sanhedrin 65b)  在宗教意义上，只有上帝造的人才是完整的人，才会说话，而Rava造的不是真正的人。按照犹太传统，当时那些拉比（Rabbis）和大贤（Sages）都能造人或者动物Golems，这并没有什么特别之处。
　　B
　　Golem的传说后来逐渐改变，十七世纪由布拉格的Rabbi Loew（Rabbi意犹太教的学者）创造了一个Golem来保护住在犹太区的犹太人免遭反犹主义的暴力侵扰。为避免麻烦，故事中的学者总是在Golem完成它的使命以后，再自觉地把它重新变回为无生命的泥土。一天，Rabbi忘记将Golem变回泥土，当城市所有人已经作礼拜去了，Golem发怒毁坏全城。这个故事架构一直到十九、二十世纪都还在文学著作里出现，最著名的是Gustav Meyrink的《Der Golem》，在一九一五年普遍被阅读，值得探究的是，这样的小说刚好出现在工业革命的时代。这反映了人们对于科技所带来伦理的挑战的惶恐。
　　C
　　1920年由Carl Boese和Paul Wegener执导的经典默片Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (The Golem: How He Came Into the World) 就是改编自Gustav Meyrink的小说。这部影片集中体现了德国表现主义艺术的特点，对Fritz Lang等导演产生过重大影响。其中精心设计了手提灯光、煤油灯光、火炬等一系列光源效果，用于表现人物的心理状态，营造影片的环境气氛。这种具有表现力地运用灯光效果的方法，最终发展为所有德国电影形式表现的一大特征，同时也为电影恐怖片的造型的表现手段提供了经验。
　　D
　　Golem的传说同样也是玛丽·雪莱的著名科幻小说《弗兰肯斯坦》的来源之一，不过不同的是：传说中的Golem笨拙、鲁莽，既不知道自己有多大的力量，也不知道自己有多笨或者有多无知；而在玛丽·雪莱笔下，维克多·弗兰肯斯坦所创造的怪物虽然莽撞，但却善于学习，极富人性，懂得痛苦、同情、怜悯、爱慕、悔恨等等人类的情感，甚至比年轻的弗兰肯斯坦本人还成熟些。十八世纪的启蒙运动由提倡理性主义发展到后期，理性开始压抑人的情感，理性主义变成一种冰冷僵硬的东西。于是在德国兴起了反对启蒙运动的浪漫主义运动，十九世纪前期，浪漫主义文学席卷欧美，玛丽·雪莱的《弗兰肯斯坦》就是在这个背景下诞生的。不过在通俗文学中反理性反科学的倾向总是显得有些矫枉过正，科学和科学家的形象被简单化、平面化，这种描绘“科学怪人”的方式在默片时代的德国表现主义电影中曾经十分兴盛，后来一直在好莱坞许多拙劣的科幻片（这种片子的一大特点就是不断拍摄越来越拙劣的续集）中继续。
　　E当代科学哲学研究最热门的一个方向是科学知识社会学（SSK），研究方法是深入到科学具体研究过程中，细致考察经费筹集、论文发表等每一个环节，研究科学知识是如何建构起来的，强调社会因素在建构过程中的作用。SSK的代表人物柯林斯和平奇在1993年出版过一本普及性的小册子，名字就叫Golem，翻译成《勾勒姆：关于科学人们应知道些什么》。柯林斯坦诚地说，他这部书是想用“勾勒姆”解释“科学”，“我们试图证明它不是一个邪恶的造物，只是有点疯狂（或译成‘傻’）（it is not an evilcreature but it is a little daft）。不要责备勾勒姆科学的过失；是我们人类在犯错误。如果勾勒姆尽力做其自己的事情，它不应受到责备。但是我们不能奢望过多。勾勒姆尽管强有力，它却是我们的文化（art）或者我们的技艺(craft)的造物。”SSK常常被斥为带有反科学倾向，但可以看出，它与浪漫主义时期的反科学倾向完全不同。它所描绘的科学形象丰满，有血有肉，它所谓的“反科学”无非是要抹去那些被强加于科学的重重面纱，还科学一个真实的面目，绝非19世纪简单的拒斥、贬低科学。
