The X from Outer Space

Original title: 宇宙大怪獣ギララ

“Mankind threatened by a deadly nucleus from the vast void of space”

Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu

The spaceship AAB-Gamma is dispatched from FAFC headquarters in Japan to make a landing on the planet Mars and investigate reports of UFOs in the area. As they near the red planet, they encounter a mysterious UFO that coats the ship's hull with unusual spores. Taking one of the specimens back to earth, it soon develops and grows into a giant chicken-lizard-alien monster that tramples Japan.
