Summary: The Danger from Space Invaders
Comment: A flaming ball hurtles across the sky. Sand Rock Arizona is a nice town. John the author has sold another article. There is an explosion when the flaming object crashes. A door opens to reveal the interior. What is there? Spooky music provides sound effects. A helicopter flies by the crater, then lands to investigate. Rocks fall into the crater. "It's like nothing we've seen before." "Find out what they're doing here." John drives away in his 1954 Mercury convertible. [Remember horn rings?] "What was that?" John takes his pistol to look around. A big eye views the departing car. Dr. Snell says the evidence points to a meteor.
The desert can kill in a thousand ways. What is that strange noise? What happened to Frank? "Don't be afraid." There are no marks or signs of them. John finds the two imposters, they give him a warning. We see prospectors in the desert. What happened to Tom? The Sheriff summons John and Ellen. Frank's wife knows something is wrong. George skipped dinner! Can somebody take over another person's body? What happened to Dr. Snell? What about Ellen? "Be careful." The aliens explain their needs. They want to leave, its not time to meet. But we see what they look like! Will people kill what they don't understand? [Fear and panic motivates people.] John returns home to find his clothes missing! What will happen? Does high temperatures cause murders? [Yes].
The Sheriff raises a militia armed with rifles. They will set up barricades to halt traffic. They shoot at the pickup truck, it crashes and burns. Will John meet Ellen? Will the earthlings be released to save the aliens? Can they seal the mine entrance? "I guess that takes care of them." A flaming ball flies through the sky. What about the future?
This was based on a Ray Bradbury story. It is a low budget film that reflects the culture of the 1950s. "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" was a better horror film. What does it say about the psychology of the public that want to be entertained by such stories?

Summary: An under rated classicI
Comment: I saw this move for the first time in 1980, my freshman year at high school.
It was shown on a huge screen and it made a lasting impression on me.
Has a great storyline, plot and the acting is grade A !
