    This was one of the most hilariously bad movies i've ever seen in my life. Don't be fooled by my rating... as far as cheese goes, the giant insect scene gets FIVE STARS by itself.

    Spandex wearing aliens with ping pong ball-eyeballs plan to conquer Earth by using their overgrown ...( read more)clumsy bearded dragons and hissing cockroaches. Earth's hero? Why, Peter Graves of course! You've never seen such a wooden and unintentionally hilarious performance in your life.

    I watched this with the Film Crew commentary and it was one of the better commentaries i've heard those guys do... including the MST3K days. I was near tears with laughter throughout the entirety of the movie, and i'm still cracking up just thinking about it. Brilliant stuff! Do yourself a favor and check this out immediately.

    I remember this movie being on Chiller Theather on WPIX or WOR out of NY when I was growing up, it was actually one of the few that played a few times. Think I would have named it Dudes with Big Eyes (Thought Dudes wasn't said much back then). I found it in the Mill Creek SciFi ...( read more)Classics 50 pack, excellent footage of older aircraft and the testing of the A-Bomb, wonder how all those people who actually sat in chairs to watch this firery Explosion made out. Anyway sit back, and enjoy and relive the days of Chiller Theather.

    A fairly quick film, about abduction and invasion by bug-eyed aliens. Good fun.

    Another 'Film Crew' title that breathes real life and enjoyment into this Peter Graves sci-fi movie. Beware the ping-pong ball eyes!

    Big-eyed aliens are stealing our radiation! Let's get some emotionless close-up shots!

    Perhaps it's unfair to really review this movie. I watched the Film Crew commentary on this film and their job is to pain movies for the length of the film. The film crew review of this movie? Five out of five stars! Very funny. But the movie itself? Well, it really deserv...( read more)es to be panned. I don't know how these kinds of movies were made. Who would go see a movie that would bore me to tears if it didn't have a commentary? (Even as good as the commentary was, I was still bored by the film itself!) It just seemed like at one point in Hollywood, quality was completely optional. Yet people watch these films today. (Working at a hip indie video store, you can recognize the customers who tend to head over to the Something Weird video section immediately.) Perhaps it's the kitsch value or something, but I just couldn't imagine liking this movie for anything.

    AHHHHHHHHHHH! OH MY GOD THE PAIN! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! O_O One of the most BORING films I've ever seen. Even The Film Crew (aka MST3K Pt. II) couldn't save this enough. Oh my God. Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow. I nearly went madly hysterical like I did the first time I saw Sayonara Jupiter...
