What in the name of all that is holy, did I just watch? I can not unwatch this, I don't know what to call it! So, class. What did we learn from watching this little ditty? If you are afraid of some impending invasion from outer space, stay away from lovers lane & the community dance hall. And, if you happen to see a giant space leach slowly crawling toward you, and you are able to get away from it, remember this this piece of advice. First, throw your arms up in front of your face, making a vogue type frame and start screaming. If this doesn't work, then slowly walk toward the monster while…

Unusual for giant space monster with vaginal mouth orifice to swallow and digest children in movies from this era...I was a little taken aback by that...even if the guy with the guitar tried a Peter Townsend on the beast to defend them. Speaking of music, the soundtrack/music, much of which sounds like ill conceived caucasian Sun Ra was enjoyable. And there was some nice advice about the benefits of marriage as well.

Definitely one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I kept waiting for it to improve; it didn't. (Note to budding filmmakers: if you want to stop a story dead in its tracks, be sure to include a lecture on the benefits of marriage.) On the other hand, you might want to track down "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra." Deliberately cheesy and inept (and hilarious), it nails all of the '50s sci-fi clichés.
