Outer Space makes use of the horror film The Entity:. Tscherkassky employs it’s rather conventional Hollywood story to tell his own tale: a woman enters her movie image where she is attacked by a "monster", an external force which is visible to the viewer only. This force is coarse reality, the area surrounding the image. She is threatened by the soundtrack's jagged trail of light, by the strip of perforation and the sounds of the "manufracture", by the sudden reproduction of her own image, by the perforation of her pictorial space, by the standstill of time within the film.
