The Angry Red Planet (1959)

When the first manned rocket ship to Mars lands back on Earth, the only surviving and conscious member of the crew recounts what happened on their journey. The glowing red surface is covered in jungles filled with carnivorous plants and giant creatures, most impressively the enormous bat-spider, who have no interest in visits from earthlings. Life on Mars is delightfully monstrous here and all scenes filmed on the surface are cast in an entirely red light. There’s some forward thinking casting here as one of the four astronauts is female that is until it is shown that her main purpose as a scientist is to prepare meals and be sexually harassed by the rest of the crew.
