This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Must See Movie...
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This movie is about as exciting as watching paint dry.I have watched most of the classic 1950s and 1960s sci fi films. You make allowances for their severely limited budgets. The special effects are usually primitive and the acting always seems to smell slightly of ham". Even the worse of these films seems to have a certain period charm.This movie is NOTHING like that.NOTHING much happens in the first two thirds of the film. The average viewer is likely to fall asleep the pacing is so incredibly slow. I kept wondering if the Martians planned to BORE the Earth to death.If you are having trouble sleeping, then watch this movie.... it is certain to put you to sleep.
The plot, very briefly, involves men from Mars who want to stop Earth from exploring their planet. The Martians travel through the galaxy to inhabit the bodies of a scientist and his family - that is, there is the "real" scientist and his family, and then there are their "body doubles" (the Martians, carrying out their mission). On top of this grave threat to humankind, there is a subplot as we view a crumbling marriage between the two leads. But I wondered if anyone who saw it really cared about them since it was definitely a B-picture. (Kent Taylor and Marie Windsor star as the scientist and his wife).There were some truly creepy moments in the movie, though. Claire Fielding (Marie Windsor) learns from her son that there is an open door on the estate property where the family is residing. She goes to lock it, then hears movement around her. She becomes scared and hurries on. Suddenly her husband is standing there, with a look that is malevolent. "Where are you going, Claire!" he asks in an a threatening voice. We the audience know that it's really a Martian, but we watch from the point of view of Claire, who's never seen her "husband" this way, and the effect is unsettling. Another weird scene involves the daughter and her doppelganger - the doppelganger looks at her with evil intent. Not to mention what the daughter's doppelganger does to the young love interest of the daughter. As for the rest, watch and find out.This film is better than its low rating, and I'd say if you like those low budget scifi's from the 50's and 60's this one is definitely worth your time.
A scientist in charge of America's space program takes a vacation with his wife and two kids, only to find they are being haunted by mysterious doppelgangers of themselves. Good sci-fi story of the Body Snatchers variety. I'm not sure why this one is rated so low on IMDb. My first guess was that Mystery Science Theater was to blame but apparently not this time. The direction is static and the movie has a sort of made-for-TV quality about it, but I thought it was enjoyable. It kept my interest throughout and, despite the lack of action or special effects, I was never bored. There is also a decent amount of atmosphere and suspense. The movie makes great use of its location shooting at the famous Greystone Mansion. If you like old-school sci-fi movies, even ones filmed on a low budget, then you will probably like this one.
I kind of liked this movie. It's not only got the classic look and feel, it really is classy. I especially liked the doctor and his family.In this movie less than 10 people appears. The story's premise is that after the earth sends a rover probe to Mars, martians comes to observe the earth in the form of the professor who invented the probe.The invasion is of small scale, and is not sure what the Martian's plan of attacks are, but they copy the body of the professor's family and friend.The reason I liked this movie was that all the characters are kind of beautiful, and classy. Professor lives in this big mansion that makes Bruce Wayne look poor. The good old days seem really good old days when I watch this movie. The movie is low budget, but is well crafted, and I liked it for what it is.
