Paul Birch shows up wearing big sunglasses and speaking in a monotone. He needs daily injections of blood, so he hypnotizes doctor F.W. Roerick, who assigns nurse Beverly Garland to lie besides a pool in a skimpy bathing suit, put up with the smutty comments of beatnik crook Jonathan Haze, and inject blood into Birch. For some reason she grows suspicious and it gradually dawns on her -- although almost immediately on the audience -- that Birch is an alien from a nuclear-war-devastated planet who want our blood.
Yes, it's Space Vampires From Somewhere Else, and this early Roger Corman flick proceeds at an excruciatingly slow pace, despite its 64-minute length. Apparently Birch got into a fight with Corman over the contact lenses he had to wear and the stupid lines he had to say, walked off and was replaced by someone else. It doesn't seem obvious in the movie.
