How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreI might be in the minority with liking this film - but I do. This is a film I thought I had seen before until I watched it recently and I have to it was the first time I remember seeing it. I fell in-love with it quickly - had a blast watching it. It's a 1950s COMEDY sci-fi horror and a fun one at that.A couple of teens are driving down the road one evening and accidentally run over what they thought was a child at first but when they got out of the car to check it was an alien. What's really horrible there is a government cover up via the air force. Can the teens prove a UFO cover-up? Will anyone else believe them and help them? It's a fun watch to find out.This is my style of little green aliens film - fun to see the aliens and a neat little story. Enjoyable.9/10
... View MoreThis movie is very average: SFX are childish to non-existent; plot is paper thin; acting amateurish. Teenagers on a "love lane" parking expedition ( the belle brat of the city's lawyer and a lower class boy her father knows nothing about ) by mistake hit & kill an invading alien with their big clumsy 1950s car. Alerting the police, they are tested for alcohol (=they are drunk), accused of manslaughter and jailed...or is it a set up? Couple of bums wandering from city to city seeking "opportunities" splits after drinking in a solitary pub in this small provincial town: one goes home to bed; another takes a ride and after he spots a spaceship, wants to set up a freak show to get rich quick. Too bad aliens attack & kill him injecting him a large dose of alcohol, and he is whom the two youngsters are accused of having murdered. The bum who went home sleeping stars in some "comedy moment" scene, and there is also some hillbilly redneck trying to chase youngsters away from his property ( a character reminiscent of minor Laurel&Hardy supporting actors ) who provides comedy relief. Minor plot twists, such as the two teenagers escaping from the police station. This movie is a bizarre concoction of comedy, parody and 1950s-styled sci-fi. In the end the teenagers are cleared of suspicion, while a goofy -yet pompous- military expedition inadvertently causes the spaceship to blow up. In the end invading aliens (= middle school kids wearing poorly sewed costumes ) are surrounded by teenagers in their funky 1950s cars, and burn up once exposed to direct light. Very modest movie not worth watching twice.
... View MoreFrank Gorshen (TV's Riddler) and Lynn Oborne (from TV's Space Patrol) are the "adult" leads in the film. As traveling salesmen they find the saucermen and plan to make money by showing them around the country.There is the "teenage" couple who also find the saucermen but are not believed by authorities. These are the two parallel story lines. This is one of the first movies to use the "teenagers save the world" theme that became popular during this period.The saucermen makeup is well done by the makeup genius of that period, Paul Blaisdell. His balloon-headed, bug-eyed, mini-martians are still one of my favorites and their photos and other likeness still appear from time to time. Unfortunately, at the time of this review this movie is not available on Video or DVD. But we can hope!
... View MoreI saw this film a couple of years ago and still think it is one of the best low-budget Sci-Fi movies ever. The best part was actually when there was a mistake in the swedish subtitles. As we all know (who have seen this film) the guy and the girl had a flat tyre on their car and searched fro some help at a house. When they leave the house without finding the help they wanted the girl asked her boyfriend what they should do. The boyfriend replies something about fixing the flat. Now, the swedish translater misunderstood the whole and instead of talking about the flat tyre the translation went "... and fix the apartment". There were a lot of confused people in the theater after this.
