1978. Directed by DON DOHLER
Cast: Don Leifert, Tom Griffith, Richard Dyszel, George Stover, Richard Geiwitz. 

TAGLINE : "They brought terror from beyond our galaxy!" 

Summary: A science ship with three dangerous specimens collected from around the universe crash lands on Earth. A mysterious stranger named "Ben Zachary" shows up claiming to be able to save the day. Can he do what he claims? A spaceship containing specimens for an intergalactic zoo crashes on Earth near a small back woods town. The specimens escape, and soon town folk are turning up mutilated. Very low budget feature was the first for Baltimore filmmaker Don Dohler. 

BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Don Dohler directing debut became a cult classic. The film was shot in 1972, but was shelved for six years because Don Dohlee couldn't find distribution. Then serendipity intervened. With Star Wars registering in the box-office red zone in the summer of 1977, local TV stations craved product to sate the sci-fi zeitgeist. Through a friend of a friend, Dohler sold The Alien Factor to a television distributor as part of a 15-movie package. It showed on TV all over the U.S., as well as in some Spanish-speaking nations. And while The Alien Factor never snared a legitimate theatrical run, it popped up for local midnight screenings at Baltimore movie houses.
