Missile to the Moon is a independently made American black-and-whitescience fiction film drama, produced by Marc Frederic, directed by Richard E. Missile to the Moon was released in late as a double feature with Cunha's Frankenstein's Daughter. A spaceship blasts off from Earth with five aboard, but one of them is secretly a Moon man returning home.
He dies by accident during the trip to Luna. What the remaining four find waiting for them when they arrive on the Moon is well beyond their expectations: huge rock creatures, giant lunar spiders, and a cave-dwelling civilization made up of beautiful women.
Dirk, who is secretly a Moon man, wants to return home. Moon man Dirk is later accidentally killed in a meteor storm during the lunar trip.
Once they land on the Moon, the spaceship's reluctant crew encounter deception and intrigue when they discover an underground kingdom made up of beautiful women and their sinister female ruler, the Lido K.
Most of the NEB contingent has been wiped out by another 'David' screamer that a patrol unwittingly brought into the base; Becker, Ross, and a black marketeer named Jessica Rubin are the only survivors. The group heads to the NEB command center but finds only an empty building and large pools of blood. Locating the mainframe computer, Hendricksson learns that the NEB truce offer was just as false as the Alliance message from Earth.
The group retreats to the NEB bunker, pursued by 'Davids'. The discovery that the screamers have 'evolved' new versions on their own that are indistinguishable from humans, and immune to Alliance tabs, leads to paranoia and distrust. Becker becomes convinced that Ross is a screamer and kills him, only to discover that he was human. The three survivors retreat to the Alliance base, only to find that the 'Davids' have gained entrance to that compound as well, with equally devastating results.
As dozens of 'Davids' pour out of the bunker's entrance, Hendricksson fires a micro-nuclear missile into the bunker. Jefferson rushes to the aid of Becker, who was apparently injured in the blast, but Becker's cries of distress are a ruse; he is a 'type 2' screamer, and he kills Jefferson. After Hendricksson destroys Becker, only he and Jessica remain. Now paranoid, Hendricksson worries that Jessica could be a screamer as well.
He slashes her hand, and is relieved to see blood dripping from the wound. They locate an emergency escape shuttle, but it can carry only one person. Hendricksson offers the shuttle to Jessica; but a second 'Jessica' arrives, confirming that she is a screamer after all, and even more human-like. Hendricksson resigns himself to death; but to his surprise, Jessica shields him, then sacrifices herself in battle with her lookalike.
With her last breath, Jessica confesses her love for Hendricksson. Hendricksson departs for Earth on the escape shuttle with a single souvenir, the teddy bear carried by the original 'David'. As the screen fades to black, the bear slowly begins to move on its own. Screamers was stuck in development hell for over a decade before finally being produced. The film, directed by Christian Duguay, was made in Canada. James Berardinelli gave the film a positive review, awarding it a rating of three stars out of four.
Berardinelli said that the film 'oozes atmosphere' and 'underlines an important truth: you don't need a big budget or big-name stars to make this sort of motion picture succeed. Three and a half stars.
Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of four , remarking that it was 'made with a certain imagination and intelligence,' 'the dialogue is often effective,' and 'what makes the film somewhat intriguing is its Blade Runner -like ambiguity: who is, and who isn't, a human being.
Time Out New York Film Guide criticized director Christian Duguay's 'flashy, aimless direction', saying that the movie 'lacks the intelligence to follow through its grim premise', but added that the film 'does offer many The Science Fiction, Horror, and Fantasy Film Review gave Screamers three stars out of four, calling it a 'two-thirds excellent and intelligent science-fiction film' that 'builds towards a climax that never arrives
