Terrore Nello Spazio (aka Planet Of The Vampires) (1965)

A spaceship receives a distress call from an unexplored planet. But once within the atmosphere of this planet, the crew members react violently toward each other. It will only get worse when their dead become alive again. Based on the short story ONE NIGHT OF 21 HOURS by Renato Pestriniero and directed by Mario Bava (LISA AND THE DEVIL). The film suffers somewhat from its obvious low budget but Bava and his cinematographer Antonio Rinaldi have done an amazing job of disguising the cheapness of the production as much as they can. The film is yet another case of style over substance although the hideous costumes the actors are required to wear are damn ugly. The plot offers infinite possibilities that aren't taken advantage of. It's a film that could use a remake. The actors are American, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian and everybody speaks in their own language and post dubbed into English (the version I saw) so it has that flat delivery so frequent in those 1960s Italian dubbed into English films. The film has a developed a cult reputation and is greatly admired in certain quarters. With Barry Sullivan, Norma Bengell, Angel Aranda, Evi Marandi and Franco Andrei.
