Watch The Eye Creatures For Free

I love this movie so much

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

*Spoiler/plot- The Eye Creatures, 1965. Several teenagers in cars are out at night for some fun. They come across some strange happenings and find out about an invasion of space aliens. They try but have difficulties to get the word to the police authorities and fight the invaders themselves.*Special Stars- John Ashley, Cynthia Hull, Warren Hammack, Chet Davis.*Theme- Nighttime is the best time for seeing alien creatures.*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W. Day and night scenes change in the middle of dialog. Some eye creatures are only wearing a head mask only with black shirts and pants and sneakers.*Emotion- This film is unfortunately an obvious film plot 'by formula'. It's simplistic, and very boring to watch. 'The Blob' was a huge movie hit years before and this film copied almost every plot scene by scene from 'The Blob' only changing the incidental monster and very few trivial movie elements. So this 50's B-movie spin-off is not worth your viewing time or energies. See 'The Blob' original instead with Steven McQueen(And yes, that McQueen).

I downloaded this movie from archive.org so at least it didn't cost me anything except my time. Astonishingly I managed to struggle through it without falling asleep more than three times. Basically we have some lumpy space creatures who crash-land for some unknown reason just outside a small town. They shuffle around in the woods looking to clobber any human over the head that they find. We also have some Air Force guys who seem far more interested in watching local teenagers making out in the woods than they are in watching for menacing space aliens. Our two main teenage heroes are played by John Ashley and Cynthia Hull. I have to admit that actress Cynthia Hull was very beautiful. I think I kept watching the movie simply to see her!

This is Larry Buchanan's abysmal remake of a not very good film to begin with - Invasion of the Saucer Men by AIP. Pretty much the same story here: a bunch of teens are out at lover's lane on some crusty farmer's property while the military learns of an alien space craft having landed nearby. The military is out to conceal any knowledge of the aliens and their presence whilst a young guy and his doll are arrested and questioned for a hit and run of a dead guy(they thought they had hit an alien). John Ashley stars as Stan Kenyon - the "roughneck" who hit the alien with his car. You know you are in trouble when either John Ashley or Anthony Eisley are the stars in a film. Whatever it spells, it starts with a Z, a grade Z film to be sure. Buchanan takes the basic story from Invasion of the Saucer Men but leaves behind the few good points that film had and trades them in for inferior ideas. In the original film, the aliens looked kind of neat and impressive with their huge heads and needles coming out of their hands. Here the aliens look like mutated baby Michelen men - rubber included! They look just God awful and move so awfully slow. Buchanan defies movie making by NOT using special effects. Here we get flash bulb photography and car headlights as the most advanced special effects used. But put aside that, you have some of the worst acting and dialog to be seen and heard in a movie of this ilk. All of the actors playing the military men are just horrific. They speak with no conviction and look so ridiculous spouting whatever it is they are spouting. I am amazed that much of the basis for the script came from the older film and some of it worked in that film. None of it works here with this crew of non-talents. Aside from the female lead, Cynthia Hull, being attractive, I can say nothing positive about this film except that it is positively boring. All those that agree say "Eye!"

Unlike what a previous reviewer said about this film being a ripoff of Roger Corman's films, it is not. AIP, who owned all the films Corman did during the 50s, decided they were going to remake these films as cheaply as possible ($30,000) and sell the to television. So, AIP hired Texas filmmaker Larry Buchanan and had him film Zontar the Thing from Venus,Curse of the Swamp Creature, In the Year 2889 ,Creature of Destruction ,and The Eye Creatures. These were all remakes of 50's AIP films. Yes, these films are all hastily made messes, and yes they are bad, but in an entertaining way. I for one miss by-the-seat-of-your-pants film-making, as well as miss the master, Larry Buchanan.
