Parker manages to rally together a small resistance army from a few scattered survivors in outlying villages, and they eventually find the earth-based relay point for the transmissions which have enabled the invaders to coordinate the robot attack by remote control. Although entertaining overall, the story lags after a thrilling first half, with the final battle hampered by budget limitations. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

This Movie is from the MGM Midnite Movie Collection. Its a Film from 1964 and in Black & White, The film is full of washed up and what appears to be wino actors and actress at the low points of the careers put together to make a some what decent film. Some strange force has killed almost everyone on earth, a selected few gather and try to survive, Robots from space turning dead humans in to zombies with no eyes, there job to find other humans. Who is the driving force. The kind of movie shown at a drive in that would make little kids look up at the sky the whole way home. Its worth 3 1/2 stars

cheap low budget 60's black & white sci-fi film..interesting premise and for the most part, decent acting..plot is a bit thin however and not too much action. All in all..not a bad effort..movie does set mood and has an eerieness to it..
