Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

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.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

"Hey turn off those lights! You're cramping our style!" So yells the 20-something year old "teenager" trying to make time with his girlfriend. Who'd think that it would be the teenagers and not the adults (both civilian and military) who take on the titled saucer men, green monsters that must be cousins of the invaders from Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!". "Aren't you going to do anything about the little green men? This could be a full invasion!" they demand when they are brought in for questioning on an alleged drunk driving hit and run."That ain't turpentine I smell! It's alcyhal!" says Farmer Larkin (Raymond Hatton) who is afraid that the two teenagers he finds hiding inside his house were responsible for the death of his cattle. In fact, while necking, they were visited by one of Larkin's bull, whom they suspect at first of being a monster after spotting a mysterious U.F.O. coming through the sky. Like the aliens from "Mars Attacks!", these creatures can maneuver their separated body parts without being entirely detached, although it is made clear that these creatures are only four feet high. A combination of creepy terror and over-the-top comedy, this starts off as the later with credits that truly resemble that of a 1950's comedy, showing both the saucer men and coffee cup saucers in the artwork of the credits. The creatures are actually pretty horrific looking which makes this all the more frightening, including nails that detract as necessary.With Steve Terrell and Gloria Castillo as the hero and heroine, this is "B" movie lovers heaven although it has not made it out onto DVD (along with the much loved cult classic "It Conquered the World!") even though it is perhaps one of the better "B" science fiction films of the late 1950's. Frank Gorshin is memorable, too, in a supporting role, but the actors playing members of the military, police department and other adult authority figures seem intent on making their characters as dumb as possible. If earth was indeed being invaded by creatures such as this and it took teenagers to do what the military couldn't, we would certainly be toast!

This is a classic cheesy b-movie about midget monsters from mars?? with giant brain heads and huge bloodshot eyes.(created by monster maker Paul blaisdell)the 1950s was a time of flying saucer scares, so American international pictures cashed in on it and struck a gold- mine.teenagers vs martian monsters,and no one believes them,the air force however stakes out the flying saucer.great character actor the late frank gorshin plays a drunken drifter that runs into the big headed aliens,the most memorable scene is when a steer gores one of the aliens and pokes its huge eye out,oh they also have eyeballs on their claws.if you never seen this one,watch it.its corny but very enjoyable. since i love this genre of movies I'm giving this 7 out of 10.its not great but its a fun movie to watch.hopefully soon it will be released to DVD,like; how to make a monster and blood of dracula(2 other classic b-movies from American international pictures)

This is such a great schlock-y 50's movie...It's got a little of everything. Teenagers that nobody believes. Drunks. Cows that whinny like horses (Listen for it! Love the audio effects team...), a farmer who's ready to shoot all the teenagers at lover's lane with his 2-barrel shotgun (Which he already fired into the air before proclaiming "Now you all clear out before I start shooting!" Should we tell him he's empty?), and paper mache aliens...But seriously, if you love 50's B&W sci-fi, you'll love this movie! (Okay, no real spoilers herein, just some of the wonderful things about the movie.)

I saw this film a couple of years ago and still think it is one of the best low-budget Sci-Fi movies ever. The best part was actually when there was a mistake in the swedish subtitles. As we all know (who have seen this film) the guy and the girl had a flat tyre on their car and searched fro some help at a house. When they leave the house without finding the help they wanted the girl asked her boyfriend what they should do. The boyfriend replies something about fixing the flat. Now, the swedish translater misunderstood the whole and instead of talking about the flat tyre the translation went "... and fix the apartment". There were a lot of confused people in the theater after this.
