Being a baby boomer and a lover of SCI FI especially those from the 1950's & early 60's , this Roger Corman film is one of my favorites! Sadly its not officially on DVD/ BLU RAY still under the clutches of Susan Hart whom I hope will finally approve of it being remastered n released to DVD/BLU RAY! It stars Peter Graves, Lee Van Cleef and the beautiful Beverly Garland! Sooo many lesser known 50's SCI FI films have been released to BLU RAY Like TOBOR THE GREAT (1954), THE GIANT CLAW(1957), ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS( 1957) (another fav of mine) and THE MONSTER FROM PIEDRAS BLANCAS( 1959) I really hope IT CONQUERED THE WORLD gets a decent DVD/BLU RAY release!! And soon before I depart Planet Earth!!

Kinda quaint in its low-budget way. Some decent speechifying about the nature of being a human being. Some poor acting mixed in the some competent stuff, but the science part of the science fiction is pitiful, the mind control is so ridiculously straightforward and much of the dialogue writing is just poor.

A classic must see b-movie. Lee Van Cleef is about as good as it gets on the acting portion, and the story is interesting. 2 1/2 or 3 Star movie, Lee Van Cleef makes it a must watch b-movie. Rating: 70% 7.0/10

This is a classic and the lovely Beverly Garland is stunning. If you don't appreciate older cinema for what it is, then don't even bother posting a score. The older generation did it first. A+
