At least it's a little easier to take seriously than Devil Girl from Mars, but the production is even more primitive and it's a lot less fun. Helmut Dantine does the best he can, dispensing cosmic wisdom in a gravelly Austrian monotone, but the punishingly low budget really shows. The purest kind of rip-off - there's nothing here that isn't in the original movie, and everything that is here is less accomplished and less interesting. Not awful, though, nor is it without a certain historical curiosity value for SF aficionados.

College of Shadows (Cambridge Gothic book 1)
By Mark Wells
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cambridge attracts the brightest minds, the darkest forces, and the deadliest monsters.
New arrivals, Nick and Annabel, feel like imposters among the gleaming spires of Cambridge University. Unsure of each other and desperate to fit in, they throw themselves into student life. But when their professor is attacked by a mysterious creature straight out of their worst nightmares, their assignments become less pass-fail than do-or-die.
As the bodies pile up, the Freshers enlist the help of Giles, a dare-devil scholar who climbs the college’s ivory towers for fun. And as the shadows close in, these unlikely allies set out to banish the beast before their first foray into this mystical world becomes their last…
I really enjoyed this. It flowed really well and kept you interested all the way through. Still a little confused by a few things but think that’s just me. Very well written and a very intriguing read.
