n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is not a grand film but it is very much fun. I can't resist the bug eyed aliens. How did the actors see anything in those crazy looking things? LOL. And a giant spider, lizard and other creatures you'll get to see.Doug was in an airplane when things happened and he awoke with the idea of getting information to someone - that someone is aliens! The people that know Doug knows that something is wrong with him. Doug ends up in a hospital with doctors putting him under hypnosis and giving him a drug that will block out imaginary things (sorta a truth serum) and while under he tells them the fascinating story of the alien abduction. When Doug awakens he decides he has to save planet Earth from those evil aliens.Again, not a great film but fun if you like the older Sci-Fi Horror B-films! 6/10

Bug-eyed aliens who can read minds and know every language in the universe threaten to destroy earthlings through making us bug food and utilize none other than Peter Graves to achieve their goal. Determined to stop this, he takes on this mission impossible and the military who justifiably don't believe him. It all surrounds nuclear power of course and is explained by an alien who resembles Criswell from "Plan 9 From Outer Space". With silly special effects (Graves explores a cave filled with giant spiders, lizards and cock roaches) and way too serious acting and dialog, this makes me believe that the fight against atomic power was fighting a loosing battle with film makers like this on their side.

Aliens take control of the mind of a scientist and use him to steal military secrets as part of a nefarious plan to take over the world.This very cheap science fiction movie was directed by W. Lee Wilder, the brother of the much more famous Billy. It stars Peter Graves who of course would go on to considerable fame as Jim Phelps in the inventive TV series Mission: Impossible. It's one of those old sci-fi flicks that appears especially ridiculous today. But despite what you might reasonably expect, this one is surprisingly mundane for the most part, although it is certainly enjoyable enough hokum to be fair. Its single most significant aspect is easily its alien villains. They are supremely silly creations, dressed in jump-suits and sporting ping pong ball eyes. Aside from them, there isn't really a lot to note in this one but it should still appeal to 50's sci-fi devotees, at least to some extent.

With the exception of John Frederick (credited at John Merrick) every single cast member of "Killers from Space" seems unenthusiastic, tired, and unhappy having to mumble their banal dialogue and ham their way to a paycheck. That's really all they can do in a production as dimwitted and ultimately doomed as this one. It is one of countless Z-grade horror/science-fiction flicks from the days of yesteryear and is just as unbearably bad as say "Creature from the Haunted Sea," "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues."I am giving this film a half-star (2 out of 10 on the IMDb scale) simply because there is a saving grace, which I mentioned at the beginning of my uncharacteristically terse review. Our antagonist is a ninja-suited, humanoid alien with eyes the size of small dinner plates who mutters in a chilling voice "We come from a planet yet unknown to you" and who barks at Peter Graves "Stay where you are!" when he tries to run before activating a cheap light ray gun that stuns him. Frederick is the movie's saving grace because he seems suited and enthusiastic for his part and darn it, he did a more than fine job.Too bad the part and the actor wasn't in a better picture. "Killers from Space" is Not Rated by the MPAA and there is no need to. The graphically-enlarged lizards and aliens with Nazi-like salutes are unlikely to frighten, only tire out.P.S. this is the shortest review I've written in probably over a year! (I hadn't much to say that I hadn't already said before)
