Full Plot Details

Astronomers investigate a mysterious meteorite shower in a rural English farm field. The rocks which fell, landed in a V-formation. Dr. Richard Arden, preeminent in the field of extraterrestrial study, is not permitted to accompany his colleagues, including his girlfriend Lee Mason, because he is still recovering from the effects of a recent motor accident. The scientists are summarily taken over by some alien force, and others in the area are dying from a mysterious "crimson plague," which covers their bodies with drops of blood. Temple seems the only person immune to both maladies, so if he can discover the reason for this immunity, he may yet foil the alien plan to take earthlings back to the moon for their own sinister purposes.

User Review - 8/10 by Andrew VGreat movie. The writing is so pathetic that it makes the acting sympathetic and by the end you sort of care about what happens (the ending completely sucked, by the way). The writing had some cool moments overshadowed by mediocre effects that would seem very unimpressive being that I've seen 50s movies with better effects. Overall though, it's makes a sincere attempt and in it's simplicity won me over. RIP Jennifer Jayne
User Review - 6/10 by Edward GI've really enjoyed director Freddie Francis' work with Hammer Films over the years, and it was intriguing to see him attached to a lower-budget project and see how he'd do, with lesser-quality actors and production values. It's not bad, just lagging in places, and seems a tad too close to Stephen King's 'The Tommyknockers' later on, for comfort (though that could be due to the novel it's from 'The Gods Hate Kansas' rather than the film). The apparently high degree of sexual attraction the two hot ladies in the film have for the protagonist, Dr. Curtis Temple, is hard to believe--unless they simply went for his bankroll or had 'daddy' issues. Although Robert Hutton, who plays him, was only 47 at the time of filming, and the actresses who portrayed his assistant Lee Mason and the girl attendant at the gas station were 36 and of unknown age respectively, he looks at least 55 and that he could be the Mason's father and perhaps the attendant's grandfather. Bad casting in that regard, although they're more than capable for the modest complexity of their parts. I liked the fact that unlike most other science fiction films, the potential of working together with the invasion force as a possible alternative to the tired, seemingly inevitable probability of war with the invading force was explored. Science fiction and horror are extremely popular filmmaking genres that have stood the test of time because they offer us clever avenues as metaphors for examining closely issues that affect society today. The time has certainly come in which people have to stop and intelligently discuss topics that concern us, rather than cling doggedly to our dogma, and to Hell with anyone that dares think any differently than we do. Frankly I feel that it's the only hope that we as a civilization have.
User Review - 6/10 by Wes SIt's premise isn't bad, but the film just wasn't done well. The plot is decent but a bit scrambled. The acting isn't too good, and the film drags on a bit. It has its high points, but still it wasn't as good as it could of been.
User Review - 6/10 by Oscar Ha fun guide on how to make a good low budget scifi movie
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SFun 60s British sci-fi film may not have the best special effects or production values, but it does have malevolent moon rocks, alien telepathy, a mild-mannered scientist turned two-fisted hero, ray guns, government conspiracies, and protective headgear. The story is not as strong as some other British sci-fi films of the era - such as the Quatermass series - but it's fast-paced plot, snappy jazz score, and whacked-out wide-angle death scenes make it a lot of fun for B-movie fans.
User Review - 6/10 by Justin Wthis film seems to take itself pretty seriously...which makes it full of cheesy goodness. basically, it's earth folk vs. moon folk using guns with sound effects and no bullets....not even the little white 'bang' shapes coming out of the guns, either. the end is pretty stupid, too. the moon guy leader says that he's gonna win...the main character says that he won't....and then the moon guy leader says 'then we've lost.' quite the struggle. but anyway, it's great for a laugh...it's a great unintentionally funny film.
User Review - 6/10 by James (good outer spacey yarn - done by amicus I think.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin M. WWith an ahead-of-its-time idea (the ominous aliens arrive but have no bodies and therefore have to occupy ours) this Brit production is not bad at all, following one scientist's efforts to stop the invaders who seem unstoppable. Yeah, its cheesy, but not as throwaway as some have suggested. I rate it a 65.
