FILM sci fi BRAINTEASER

Two films that have slightly similar plots set in Scotland and from two different decades. Can you name one or either?

1. At a quaint Scottish inn, several disparate travellers are disrupted by a beautiful Martian, who explains that her planet needs men for breeding purposes.

2. A voluptuous woman of unknown origin combs Glasgow in search of isolated or forsaken men, luring a succession of lost souls into an otherworldly lair.

  3. The first one is DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS.
    I was about seven years old when I saw this in the cinema and it frightened the hell out of me.
    Around the same time I saw WAR OF THE WORLDS which didn't scare me at all.

    1. Yep, that's it! Well done Terran! But is it as scary as Plan B from Planet 9?

    2. As an adult it's not at all scary, but as a child the very normal life being interrupted by some one a strange as the Devil Girl was quite disturbing. It was all dialogue, not special effects which were obviously just special effects. I don't even remember Plan B, that's how much it impressed me.

  6. You mean 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' Woodsy.
    Trust me, director Ed Wood had no 'Plan B'. Or even much of a 'Plan A' really !
