1/5
The public domain cult classic is a stinker of true proportions with Peter Graves hamming it up for the camera. Go to Full Review

Georgan G 12/22/2023 One of the best from 50 SciFi Classics Collection (disc 7 side A). Watch for free on many sites as this fun old film is in public domain. Peter Graves is great and the low-budget special effects are humorous. Love the bug-eyed aliens. See more DanTheMan 2 06/24/2023 Killers from Space is terrible in pretty much every sense of the word, however, it carries with it an endearingly wholesome ineptitude you can't help but love it. Peter Graves carries so much of this movie on his back as the whole film is hampered by awful production values and a non-existent budget trying to convey a story way beyond its capabilities, the eyes of the titular Killers from Space are so unintentionally hilarious that it's hard to take anything in this movie with the sincerity it wants you to have for it. If the Killers somehow found a way to stop their yammering long enough to get on with some actual killing this movie could be a true camp classic but it's too boring for that, not even the giant mutant insects could make up for it. Thankfully, even with its snail-like pacing, the movie is over in 70 minutes, so it doesn't take up too much of your time. See more @Blobbo 10/03/2018 Not bad for it's day. Of course, we're in our day now. See more 12/31/2017 Fun W. Lee Wilder film about space aliens wearing ping pong balls for eyes and candy cane-striped cummerbunds. They need one bad actor (Peter Graves) to assist them in procuring energy information. Trenchant script and atmospheric music makes this movie interesting. Possibly Wilder's best film. See more 01/09/2013 Very cheesy sci fi b movie. interesting creativity of the aliens though See more 07/31/2012 It's too bad that the aliens didn't keep Peter Graves, but I can understand them wanting to make him their bitch. Killers From Space is nowhere near as intriguing as its title. It's one of the silliest B movies I've ever seen, as well as one of the most terrible. It's entertaining in a fun way, and that's perhaps why The Film Crew (AKA MST3K, AKA Rifftrax) took it town and did a great number on it. There are no appealing characters, no amazing plot threads to follow, no great special effects and absolutely no surprises or great tension in the story. It's just a generic, and I mean generic, movie about aliens coming to Earth, and when they get here they don't even kill anyone. It's quite trite, but it can be entertaining in a bad way if you give it a chance to do that. However, you won't be missing very much if you never see it at all. See more Read all reviews
