It Conquered the World 1956  N/R, 71 min.
Genre: Sci-Fi
Director: Roger Corman
Cast: Peter Graves, Beverly Garland, Lee Van Cleef, Sally Fraser, Russ Bender, Jonathan Haze, Dick Miller, Charles B. Griffith
The low budget for this film becomes painfully apparent in its display of special effects. The story is about an alien from Venus that comes to Earth intent on dominating the planet. At first, it is aided by a confused scientist, Tom Anderson (Lee Van Cleef), who later "sees the light"–thanks to fellow scientist Dr. Paul Nelson (Peter Graves). 1 User Review

| | Only ½ star, but should be in everybody's collection. | Bobo 11/20/2007 | | The invading alien is a turnip-shaped creature with crab-like claws and a face reminiscent of a evil-faced Halloween pumpkin carving. How can you NOT have a copy of this campy treat? (Also note that this movie sports and all-star cast -- uh, for the genre, that is... :) |
