poe-48833 A common failing of many of the experimental films and videos I've seen over the years (as well as features featuring the likes of El Santo and Paul Naschy, not to mention scores of Chinese Martial Arts movies) has been the LIGHTING (or, more accurately, the lack thereof). The rationale in INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN is that it's LIGHT that fries our friends from Space, hence its notable absence from too many scenes- which is a shame, really, because the Aliens are way-cool critters who should've been given the Spotlight, as it were. Their ship is also one of the coolest ever built for a sci-fi feature, and it, too, deserved better "exposure." Lightweight but okay for the period.

Rainey Dawn I might be in the minority with liking this film - but I do. This is a film I thought I had seen before until I watched it recently and I have to it was the first time I remember seeing it. I fell in-love with it quickly - had a blast watching it. It's a 1950s COMEDY sci-fi horror and a fun one at that.A couple of teens are driving down the road one evening and accidentally run over what they thought was a child at first but when they got out of the car to check it was an alien. What's really horrible there is a government cover up via the air force. Can the teens prove a UFO cover-up? Will anyone else believe them and help them? It's a fun watch to find out.This is my style of little green aliens film - fun to see the aliens and a neat little story. Enjoyable.9/10

Hitchcoc Some cabbages (or leaf lettuce) from outer space come to earth and hang around in the woods. A bunch of teenagers are the only ones who actually see these things. It's the usual runaround as the teenagers are victimized by their age and lack of credibility. Frank Gorshin, famous for the role of the Riddler in the Batman TV show, becomes a victim after he tries to capitalize on his knowledge. The army knows a flying saucer has landed but is trying to keep it quiet. Actually, this is pretty decent for its time because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Of course, all the forces eventually come together and that's what makes the conclusion fun. There is a great line. The young girl's car is called Elvis because "it can shake and shimmy but it sure can go."

Johnboy1221 I saw this movie as a kid, and it was scarier to me then. That makes sense, actually. Most sci-fi films are that way.For it's time, the saucer and little green men (not green on screen, since it's black and white) are fairly unique, and mirror what many so-called observers in real life depict seeing (big head and little body).The movie holds up as well as it does due to the humor added. It's just not a film one can take too seriously. It's not bad enough for Mystery Science Theater inclusion, nor is it anywhere near a classic.I was always a big fan of Frank Gorshin, and he's fine in his role as a two-bit drifter out to get rich off the little creatures. He's a drinker, so an ingenious creature injects him with a bellyful of booze. I thought that was appropriate.....a drunk who planned on getting rich and ended up dying of alcohol poisoning. Too cool, but he died too soon to suit me! It's a simple little movie really. If you're an adult you can laugh at all the fun scenes, and if you're a kid, you can muster a little fear here and there. It still holds up well, after all these years.Johnboy
