Synopsis: ● An alien egg is brought back to Earth from Venus, and after it hatches it gains both intelligence and it's race memory. The trouble starts as it tries to communicate with humanity which leads it's behavior to be misunderstood as wanton destruction and mayhem. Could very well have been the basis for the 1957 creature feature 20 Million Miles to Earth.
