nick s Really no redeeming features. The stilted dialogue was used as a vehicle to explain what was happening to the audience. The storyline was silly and forgettable. The action was half hearted. The movie is about as bad as a fan fiction film made by the socially awkward guy at school. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Monsol E A pretty interesting plot, that struggled with it's pacing. When a bunch of "meteors" fall in a formation, scientists go to examine them, but promptly undergo a change upon contact, leaving the one guy who stayed behind to figure out what's happened. It plays out less as a sci-fi, and more as a spy-thriller, which is neat actually! Especially considering the scientist we follow is just a regular middle-aged guy, trying to do espionage and light-warfare by himself, seemingly without experience. The big reveal as to what alien-stuff going on is a bit silly, but also has a surprisingly warm/fuzzy resolution. It's slow, not particularly visually appealing, and perhaps a tad dumb, but I still quite enjoyed it! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review sotiris k It doesn't even work as a parody unfortunately. It's not even in the "so bad it's good" category. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member We already covered the film that this played double bills with — The Terrornauts — earlier today. And much like that movie, this one has a great poster that advertises a movie I want to see more than the one that I actually watched. Based on Joseph Millard's The Gods Hate Kansas, this was directed by Freddie Francis for Amicus. He claimed that the studio spent all of the budget for this on the aforementioned The Terrornauts, leading to an inferior film. This one is about the Master of the Moon (Michael Gough!) spreading a "Crimson Plague" that wipes out a whole bunch of humanity so that the government will send the bodies of the victims to the moon to hide what really happened to them, at which point he will bring them back to life and use them to fix his spaceship. It's a really complicated plan that gets torn apart at the end by hero Dr. Curtis Temple, who basically tells the Master that if he'd just asked for help, humanity would have done it. This causes one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy to just start crying. Supposedly this was Anwar Sadat's favorite movie. I only have IMDB as a source for this, but I find that absolutely hilarious and have decided that it must be true. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member What could have been a decent Quatermass or Doctor Who adventure lapses too much into silly ideas and not properly executed scenes. Aspects of interest but overall weak. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review kevin w With an ahead-of-its-time idea (the ominous aliens arrive but have no bodies and therefore have to occupy ours) this Brit production is not bad at all, following one scientist's efforts to stop the invaders who seem unstoppable. Yeah, its cheesy, but not as throwaway as some have suggested. I rate it a 65. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
