The best things about this ludicrous little cheapie are young Frank
Gorshin's (later "The Riddler" in the 1960s TV Series,"Batman")acting
performance - a shame he was killed off fairly early in the film -
and Paul Blaisdell's alien creature designs, the bulbous-headed little
devils are so pugnaciously cute as to be irresistably charming.
However, to cite the dismal shortcomings of this film would take
several pages. Probably only the 1950s sci-fi film aficionado would
want to watch it with any semblance of regularity.
The best scene is also the most hilarious, which features a gory
battle between one of the aliens and a bull! The alien spacecraft,
which accidently gets blown up by a human's cutting torch, is also
good for a few chuckles. - AH
