Georgan G Another from the 50 SciFi Classics Collection. Sort of watchable, but uneven plot makes it boring. "Invisible" alien who needs a space suit to survive arrives on earth. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Josh G Fun at times , but mostly dry and a forgettable space entry from the 50's and the space genre as a whole. It never tries anything new or uses the tropes to be a stand out simple forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review christopher c. m Way better than I was expecting. Story could have been better with one more draft. And all the needless narration bordered on "The Creeping Terror" level. Which hurts the pacing. Not sure why they kept saying height instead of altitude. It feels like they thought they were talking down to the audience. But the effects are very good for a 1950s low budget movie. The idea of the alien speaker at a higher frequency above human hearing is cleaver. All together a imperfect but forgotten classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Theemuis 1 what in god's name is this movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Blobbo X Blobbo still have siight, brain particles after watching full movie. Star is reward for big surprise. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Another intrepid low-budget sci-fi flick from director Lee Wilder, though this one is hindered by an ultra-silly script which includes people talking about an alien they've encountered "who has no head" even though the alien's space helmet is a solid mass except for a checkbook-sized tinted visor. The alien is also described as a "giant of a man" despite one scene where he runs through an empty lot at an estimated height of about 5-7 or so. Still a fun movie, especially for aficionados of this genre. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
