Not bad for an '80s quickie


Found this one the other day in the 5 buck bargain bin. It was okay but could have showed a lot more aliens.

Because, you know, it's supposed to be about invading... aliens!

I found it in the two-buck bin, and it was money well spent. This is a fairly entertaining film that ultimately is a bit underwhelming. 6/10 stars from me.

I got it for 5 buck as a double feature invaders from mars. Money well spent.

I dont know how I never heard of this flick before. My boyfriend told me about it and I ran on AMAZON and found a copy of this and also the Karen Black movie INVADERS FROM MARS for $5. I quite enjoyed it.

Would I have wanted to pay to see it in a movie theater> No, I didnt like it THAT much. But for a late night cuddle on the couch and watch a movie on TV/ video pick it was not bad. Entertaining enough, and had sort of a humorous edge to it.

I believe I found this movie in a funky old record/video store for maybe $5 or so. It had the double feature with "Invaders From Mars" in it. When I was a teenager into my early 20's I was into horror movies and cheesy ones at that and this one was right up my alley.

I seen it last night for the first time in like 6 years and I actually felt bad for Michael Lerner's family and how they were turned into blue sphered ball things and was asking for help but he couldn't help them as they followed out the window. You can see the emotion behind that part. Luckily, In the end they came back as they once did.

I give this movie a 7, it's definitely a good move to cuddle up with on like a raining Saturday afternoon or at night. But I should advise you, don't eat food while the aliens are pulling off their skin unless you have a strong stomach. 😖

That was the best part when Michael Lerner's family returned. I definitely got choked up.
