An Alien that claims to be
pure thought (even though we later see it’s body!) lands on Earth
to scout for an eventual invasion force. The alien uses it’s
mental abilities to dominate the weak minds of Earth’s lesser creatures
like dogs, cows, the mentally handicapped and women (hey don’t blame
me it is in this stupid movie!). Luckily for all mankind the isolated
farm that the creature lands near is home to farmer, father, and war
hero Allan. Allan is able to recognize that something is up and
defeats the evil alien before it can blast off for home in it’s space
craft (that looks strangely like a cappuccino machine).
This movie is terrible.
The story makes no sense and is boring as hell. The animals that
are supposed to be menacing are clearly a friendly German Sheppard,
who viciously attacks while wagging it’s tail, and a cow! The
story starts off slow and only gets worse. Not only that but the movie
is filled with terrible dialogue and even worse performances.
With the exception of the actor that portrays Allan the acting is just
terrible. Oh and when your romantic lead is Dick Sargent, Bewitched’s
second Darren you know you are in trouble.
The special effects in this
movie amount to very little. You have an annoying high-pitched
sound, a coffee maker standing in for a spacecraft, and a hand puppet
alien (that claimed early on it didn’t have a body!). It is
just bad.
This movie is just terrible.
In fact this is one of the most painfully bad films that I’ve ever
forced myself to sit thru. Unlike some other bad movies that have
a charm to them like Plan 9 from Outer Space, there is nothing fun about
this film. I took a bullet for you guys, so please avoid this
one at all costs.
