Genre: Sci-Fi
Director: Tobe Hooper
Cast: Karen Black, Hunter Carson, Timothy Bottoms, Laraine Newman, James Karen, Bud Cort, Louise Fletcher, Eric Pierpoint, Jimmy Hunt, Dale Dye
This remake of the 1953 film is a near disaster. The only interesting comment is that the boy in the earlier film is now the police chief (Jimmy Hunt). A boy (Black's real-life son) sees an alien landing in his back yard, and then sees the townsfolk get taken over. Watch the earlier version. 2 User Reviews

| | Classic | groominggranny 01/12/2011 | | I am 53 and this movie has had a lasting impact on me since I was a young child. What a classic, I haven't seen it in over 40 years but remember vivid details. |
| | A Childhood Favorite | ChibiV 08/12/2010 | I have never seen the original and I was only four years old when this movie came out, but as I grew up and it was played on TV this movie became one of my favorites. I know many other people my age that loved this movie. We remember it fondly along with other great movies such as The Navigator. It took the concept of aliens invading through mind control and showed it through the eyes of a child, making it easier for children to connect with and enjoy. And the end? That was the best part. It felt edgy and fun when I was a kid and watching it again as an adult I wasn't disappointing.
How good it actually is compared to the original? I don't know. However, the graphics are decent enough that most children of this generation would have an easier time watching it than the black-and-white original. The storyline is also unique enough that it can still capture the minds of young sci-fi viewers.
It may not have been a blockbuster, but it is defiantly a cult classic. |
