Worst documentary in the world, 3 March 2006
1/10
Author: col_smith1 from United States

I have a copy of this film on VHS. However, the title is "Attack from Outer Space". I tried to find information on this title and could find very little out there. It was only after searching on the director's name, Wheeler Dixon, that I discovered the original title and this listing in IMDb.

This has got to be the most inane strip of celluloid ever assembled. The entire film consist of nothing more than stock footage taken from the national archives and other government agencies and spliced together in a way that follows no narrative or any semblance of logical coherence. The narration drones on throughout the film without any regard to what is appearing on screen. The screen images are replete with what appear to be government technicians turning switches and dials in some lab somewhere and has nothing to do with UFO's or apparently anything else, for that matter. In addition, the narration is recorded with an echo making it difficult to understand what is being said. The sound track is a mixture of 70's porno jazz and 50's sci-fi synthesizer. These two divergent sounds are overlaid one another in a way that just grates on the nerves.

I can only imagine how many 12 or 13 year old boys must have wasted their hard earned 3 bucks to sit in a theater on a hot summer day in 1979 hoping to see some fascinating expose on the UFO phenomena only to be bored into a near catatonic state after sitting through the most agonizing 95 minutes of their young lives.
