Watch Invasion of the Saucer-Men For Free

Crappy film

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A semi-comedic sci-fi, Invasion of the Saucer Men must have had some influence over the extraterrestrials from Mars Attacks. Here, the mischievous, diminutive Martians, complete with bulbous heads and bulging eyes, land their spacecraft on the outskirts of a small American town called Hicksburg, where they cause all manner of trouble for the locals, and for the army who are trying to cover up any evidence of the aliens' existence to avoid panic.The heroes of the film are teen lovers Johnny Carter (Steve Terrell) and Joan Hayden (Gloria Castillo), who accidentally drive over one of the little green men after a quick smooch at Lovers' Point before eloping. While Johnny and Joan go to call the authorities (who naturally don't believe a word of their outlandish story), opportunist Joe Gruen (Frank Gorshin) discovers the dead alien and thinks it is his ticket to fame and fortune.With incredibly poor production values, very few genuine laughs, and zero scares, the film is pretty much a failure on most levels. The design of the saucer men themselves is fairly iconic, but too little is seen of them to make up for the film's other shortcomings (and when we see the creatures in long shots, they're quite clearly little kids in bad costumes). The film's most ingenious moments revolve around the dead alien's hand, which has detached itself from the body and, with one of the creature's eyes connected, crawls around the place continuing to cause havoc (the aliens kill using needle-like protrusions from their fingertips that administer an overdose of alcohol!).

Edward L. Cahn directed this cult classic about a pair of teenagers on a date who accidentally run over a newly arrived alien. Strangely, its hand falls off and comes to life on its own. Meanwhile, drunken friend Joe(played amusingly by Frank Gorshin) takes one home, but is injected by an alien with a fatal overdose of alcohol, and the authorities don't believe the teenagers' story of alien invaders. Can they be convinced in time to stave off this menace? The aliens are a memorable creation, with their big bulbous heads and needle-like fingers. Though the humor here isn't too bad, this is still a silly and ridiculous film, good only for camp value. Not yet on DVD, but was seen on YouTube.

I was 6 years old when I seen this film. It has to be one of the all time classic Science fiction flims. Low budget, campy,very very funny. A true fond memory of my past entertainment. It is worth seeing just because of the now, old cars in it !I wish more Science Fiction would stay like this.This is a must see for all you science fiction fans! BW flim fans!

If you like the "Drive-In" films of the 1950s, you certainly wont be disappointed with this venture. It has everything - fun, creepy little creatures, chills and laughs. It has a narrative form to it which I find I liked, but you couldn't tell if the narrator was talking about an incident, a comic book or an inebriated nightmare that he'd had! I give this film ten stars!
