My favourite B-movie/ UFO film of the 50's! Cold-war paranoia and western propaganda, sure, but just enjoy it for what it is, a really creepy Sci-fi classic!
Quaintly dated but seminal 50s sci-fi in which a freckle-faced apple pie scoffing yank kid (who clearly deserves a slap) is the only witness to an alien invasion. Like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, the strength of the premise outweighs the dodgy execution, and as such, it's sti...( read more)
