Goofs
Trollenberg isn't in Switzerland nor in the Alps. The travel posters in the Trollenberg train station depict the Matterhorn probably as seen from Zermatt, Switzerland. Trollenberg, however is actually located in Germany's Black Forest, nearly 400 KM away. The closest rail station access to Trollenberg is in Loßburg about 4 KM away. Zermatt, however in the shadow of the Matterhorn, does have a train station and cable gondola service to Furi and Schwarzsee. See more »Quotes

Mountain climbers on the Trollenberg mountain in Switzerland mysteriously disappear. Atop a nearby peak is a research center for the study of cosmic rays. American Forrest Tucker, on vacation, visits an old friend who is in charge of the scientific study and soon discovers he was asked by his friend to investigate a strange cloud that hangs over Trollenberg. This is the beginning of this little science fiction-horror gem from Great Britain. The film is directed by Quentin Lawrence and is full of suspense, tight direction, and good acting. It seems that the cloud is a means for alien movement for the aliens that have come to live on the mountain peak. These aliens are huge eyes basically, and are indeed impressive. The film is very serious in nature and this really helps the actors and plot in the area of believability. Forrest Tucker does a nice job in the lead and the rest of the cast is very good. A neat film!
