Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Even though it is made clear that the military characters are US Air Force, when the Sergeant (Michael Balfour, a British actor, as were most of the others in the film) reports to Major Jeff Cummings (Marshall Thompson) early in the film, he incorrectly gives the Major a "British" salute, with the palm facing outward. Thompson returns the salute correctly, with the palm facing inward.

Those monsters in the shape of breathing brains are quite nice. The film however, is merely OK. Just another of those low budget sci-fi/horror-movies of the 1950's with mediocre FX and a barely plausible story. Nevertheless, I found it quite entertaining and because it's a rather short film, I never felt bored.
Rating: 5/10
