5/10
Entertaining and sympathetic short-budget Science Fiction movie of the Fifties with the regular elements.
12 November 2020
Low-budget 50s Sci-Fi with thrills , chills , humor and cheap special effects . It deals whith some extraterrestrial flying saucers turn up on the outer space , arrive in Earth and then Little Green Men pop in on Middle America . While driving their car , two suburban teens (Gloria Castillo, Terrell) are detained by a little green man at lovers lane . After that , the town drunk (Frank Gorshin) gets zapped , teenagers show their pluck and the Military get called in. All of them have to vanquish the extraterrestrial beings before they take the World. See Teenagers vs The Saucer-Men! See Disembodied Hand that Crawls... ¡ See Night the World nearly ended ..¡ See Earth attacking Flying Saucers !

A passable youthful Sc-Fi that does not quite descend to level of Ed Wood-style ineptitude, but it isn't too far above it either. Concerning an extraterrestrial invasion while a lovely couple runs over a Green Man and when they return with police only the corpse of a boozy remains, then they escape , asking for help , as the dead man's roonmate believes them but the trío must convince authorities before the alien creatures multiply themseves . All the usual genre elements are here , though director has not the imagination or the money to make than the barest minimum with them . The main actors are mostly unknown, however the support cast appear some familiar faces as Ed Nelson , Raymond Hatton, Angelo Rossitto and Frank Gorshin as the drunk Man , Riddle in Batman series .

The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Edward L Cahn , in spite of its show budget. Cahn was a craftsman who directed lots of films of all kinds of genres , usually for American International Production : Samuel Z Arkoff, James H Nicholson , and Edward has penchant for Science Fiction and youngsters films such as : Beauty and the Beast , Invisible Invaders , It The Terror From Beyond, Frontier Uprising, Dragstrip Girl, Flesh and the spur, Motorcyce Gang , Shake rattle and rock, Voodoo Woman, Zombies of Moratau, Girls in prison, Confidential , among others. Rating : 5.5/ 10 . Passable and acceptable. The picture will appeal to fans of Science Fiction of the 50s.
