★★★★★ · Great film · Mary Kirkland · 2026-01-28
Nice colorization. Had to watch it once more. Perfect role for Caradine as a corpse. Practical FX are hypnotic. Dedicated actors with great dialogue and action. Might be the greatest movie ever created.

There's something about the giddy exuberance of 1950s era drive-in science fiction that is an absolutely infectious thing to watch. Perhaps it was their tendency to go big with their themes about the terror of nuclear annihilation? Or perhaps it has something to do with the convoy of recognizable faces and names who somehow routinely turn up in films of this sort? Or it could be the no-budget, no-frills production values that force the cast to play a big game of pretend in front of the camera? Perhaps it's all of these qualities working together that make so many 1950s science fiction…

Stinky bad '50s sci-fi. If you're a fan of John Agar, you'll see him massively hung-over in this improvement on Plan 9 from Outer Space: Similar plot, not nearly as gay.
