I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

*Spoiler/plot- Cape Canaveral Monsters, 1960. Two alien balls of energy take over the bodies of a car accident victims to wage a war of sabotage against the Air Force new rockets. The aliens kidnap and transmit young humans to their planet to study them. The local Air Force program's Young scientists become the next victims of the alien plot. The police and Air Force take charge.*Special Stars- Jason Johnson, Katherine Victor.*Theme- Space aliens seem to want what they can't have on their own planet.*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W. shot at Bronson Caves and Leo Carillo Beach, Mike boom seen in police car glass in a reflection. It has a weird cliffhanger ending.*Emotion- This film crosses over into film 'exploitation' due its scenes featuring torture, decapitation, and suggested nudity. The female alien seems to have a sexual attraction for the film's distinct seedy exploitation elements. The odd ending is a cliffhanger of sorts with a car crash and female scream. As such, this film is unique and more than just a B-Movie science fiction film.

The alien invaders using the recent dead is a whole sub-genre of films from Plan Nine From Outer Space to Invisible Invaders and this film filmmakers looking to save a buck by not having to come up with a monster suit. Sadly almost every film from genre are really bad. Sure some of them are fun bad, but they are still bad.Such is the case with Cape Canaveral Monsters. This little mistake has floating balls of light taking over the bodies of a recently deceased couple in order to sabotage the US space program.(and we thought the commies were bad)Dumb it is, fun its not.This is one to avoid-a warning I send out even to bad film lovers-this is just the wrong sort of bad.

As a certified Ed Wood fan, I had been meaning for some time to track down the works of Mr. Phil Tucker. But, they had eluded me, except for his disasterpiece, his masturwork, his Citizen Kane, his Plan Nine From Outer Space.That would be the immor(t)al Robot Monster, which I have seen on DVD, and even had the good fortune to see on the big screen, in its super rare 3-D version no less! Jeekers!So, finally, Netflix allowed me to stream one of his other epics, THE CAPE CANAVERAL MONSTERS. I have to say, it was almost worth the wait. Fans of the celluloid leavings of Ed Wood, Jerry Warren and Richard Cunha will be right at home here. This is a pure gold-plated turd, full of the hi-jinx beloved by aficionados of low-budget 50's sci-fi swill. Aliens, mad scientist, stupid gadgets, cheap-arse monsters, yes, fans, they are all here, and they are all awesome. Perfect mindless viewing for a boring Saturday afternoon. Not sure if this presentation is available on DVD, but if it is not, then it really should be. Somebody get right on that, will ya?

How can any horror fan growing up with horror flicks of the late 50's through mid 60's ever deny films like The Cape Canaveral Monsters, Attack of the 50ft Woman, Amazing Colossal Man, etc.? Excellent drive-in horror! We start with a seemingly innocent couple who are driving to a rocket lauch. BUT... A spaceship lands while they're enroute. And this radioactive alien (who's just a hairy white man made to look big) contaminates them and turns them into The Cape Canaveral Monsters. Then, they go on this mission with a laser shooting missiles and satellites when they are launched from Cape Canaveral. It's really quite fun.
