Space Invasion of Lapland 1959

Paul Corupe’s review:
Even at 70 minutes it’s generously padded, but this Swedish monster movie (filmed in English) is actually decent and has a few memorable aspects. The plot is basic pulp: a meteor-shaped spaceship falls in the Swedish mountains and a yeti-like creature emerges to terrorize the natives. The finale is shot in silhoutte and works quite well.
It's public domain so easy to get ahold of. I watched it on this release, which includes both versions: www.amazon.com/dp/B00005KH2Q/
I have actually seen this projected on a beautiful 35mm print. There's some fun to be had with this.
I'm gonna hunt this down too.
