     Invisible Invaders
1959  NR  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 7min
CAST— John Agar, John Carradine, Philip Tonge
MUSIC— Paul Dunlap  DIRECTOR— Edward L. Cahn

     Unseen aliens blow stuff up in this atomic age freak out film. A prominent scientist is told to warn Earthlings that intergalactic war is imminent. No one believes him because he claims that the antagonists are invisible creatures who inhabit the bodies of the recently dead and are gonna go on killing sprees unless the people of Earth immediately surrender. Yeah. But when the scientist’s claims prove reliable it’s too late; death and destruction dominate. The scientist is soon working on a way to combat this extraterrestrial menace… and blah, blah, blah. Seen it. Bears some similarities to later films Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) and Night of the Living Dead (1968). With a mashup like that you know you’re in for at least a few unintentional laughs.
OUR RATING— * ½
