A good scary movie, 19 June 2002
Author: julianbristow (julianbristow@sbcglobal.net) from San Jose, California

Although dated, this science fiction thriller asks the question, "Is it possible for outer space aliens to invade our earth?" The script was well written and the acting was just as good. Richard Denning and Kathleen Crowley have been seen in other top notch "B" 50'S sci-fi and horror films. But this is one of the best.
