Director: William Cameron Menzies
Cast: Jimmy Hunt, Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Morris Ankrum, Leif Erickson, Hillary Brooke, Milburn Stone, Walter Sande, Max Wagner, John Eldredge
This is a good sci-fi flick, especially considering the age. The special effects are left to the end of the film, as a boy sees strange lights in the sky, followed by the townsfolk acting strangely. It was remade in 1986.

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.
