| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis is a classic in bad sci-fi B-movies. |
| User ReviewDavid KZombies! Invisible aliens! Helpless lady! Weaseling scared arsehole! Testosterone! Invaders killed by BASS! What's not to love there? |
| User ReviewBraden ANow THAT is awesome 1950s sci-fi. That's what I'm talking about when I say I wanna watch a movie that's so bad it's good. That movie ROCKED. I want MORE of these movies...more...MORE! |
| User ReviewTristan PIngenious low-budget sci-fi (invisible invaders... genius!) from the underrated Edward L. Cahn and with the great John Carradine. The zombies look quite a bit like the ones in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, although it's highly doubtful George Romero ever saw this. |
| User ReviewJon MModerately entertaining, if brief, B sci-fi picture. Invisible aliens take over dead bodies to destroy our planet, and lurch about as though they were the inspiration for Romero's dead films. John Agar is the appropriately square-jawed military lead, Robert Hutton is the squirrelly cowardly scientist, and John Carradine has about 5 minutes of screen time and a voice-over and collects his check. |
| User ReviewRobert BTo have an enemy is one thing, but to have someone appear invisible is another. It was very unique how they were able to make the invisible invaders appear before them. The aliens invade dead bodies and become zombie like. A group of scientists now have the task of trying to kill the invisible invaders. |
| User ReviewBheema DThere are two options when you walk into Invisible Invaders: Either straight up terrible, or awesome in its unintentional absurdity. This movie falls into the latter. |
| User ReviewBobby DWow. This one had it all. A very goofy and funny opening where scientist John Carradine dies barely 2 minutes in, and then a very serious warning about the dangers of nuclear fallout (tragic especially after the recent Fukushima disaster) and then right back into b-movie campyness worthy of Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. Which oddly enough has the same theme of aliens using dead bodies to destroy mankind. Part zombie flick/ part traditional 50's scifi where the lead scientist is 1st warned by the aliens of the coming disaster & then somehow develops a super-weapon that exploits all thier weaknesses (usually invloing explosions & melting into foam.) This film would be SOOOOO much fun to remake as a comedy. Especially in the beginning of this film where locked in thier bunker the scientists coomunicate with hq only to be told whatever "Discovery" they made some other locked away in abunker scientists already discovered it. This happens throughout the film until the very end when they discover thier superweapon. Would've been funny when they fianlly radioed in the plans if the hq already knew. |
| User ReviewSamuel BNot so good. Invisible alien invaders decide to take over the world...slow in places and you might lose interest, but it is a 1950's b-sci-fi movie so that is probably expected. |
| User ReviewAllan CCheaply made alien invasion film from slock director Edward L. Cahn. Invisible martians from the moon plan invade earth and plan to colonize (because we'll otherwise destroy ourselves with nuclear weapons). The invisible martians possess dead bodies which then attack the living, which has kind of a zombie vibe to it about 10 years before "Night of the Living Dead" came out. The possessed corpse make-up and their stiff movements even look like the zombies in Romero's first film. The zombies are even referred to as "the walking dead" at one point by the film's over dramatic narrator. Still, they don't fed on the flesh of the living and the film lacks any of the "rules" that Romero set up for his zombies (i.e. destroy the brain to kill the zombie, anyone who dies turns into a zombie, etc.) so no one can make the case that Romero stole from this movie. Overall, this film is super low budget, featuring loads of stock footage (including the classic wreck at the end of "Thunder Road"), a rather uncoupling story, and a generally pretty boring alien invasion story. The story might have made a decent 30 minute "Twilight Zone" episode, but not a feature length film. Probably only worth watching for it's contribution to the zombie genre,which was mainly as an influence on George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" where he created the horror sub genre. |
