An absolutely guileless piece of anti-nuclear agitprop, Invisible Invaders' unwavering single-mindedness and artful, bargain-basement effects have contributed to its deserved reputation as a early sci-fi classic. Essentially a didactic play of ideas--closer to Shaw than Spielberg--the story line follows a reluctant nuclear scientist (played with genuine sensitivity by Philip Tonge) whose conscience forces him out of the military-industrial complex. When a race of invisible aliens declares its intention to destroy Earth, Tonge must scramble to find their weakness. Veteran B-movie hunk John Agar lends support as a courageous army major who takes charge of the experimentation, and, in the process, supplies the film with its only shred of a subplot by romancing the scientist's daughter (spunky Jean Byron). Substantial newsreel footage and seemingly unrelated canned shots add to the creepy atmosphere, and the film's one real special effect--concentric circles representing sound waves--proves quite effective in its pure minimalism. Shot, apparently, on a budget of pocket change and bounced credit- union checks, Invisible Invaders stands as an inspiration to cash-poor indie filmmakers everywhere, and to anybody who understands that the true measure of a science-fiction narrative is not the force of its explosions, but of its ideas. --Miles Bethany

Saw this when I was just a kid. Finally got my own copy. A good addition if you like "B" rated sci-fi movies.

This is another in the "Midnite Movies" releases from MGM(double sided disc) and in my oppinion the best film here out of the two is the 1959 production of Invisible Invaders,starring John Carradine.However this film has got to hold some kind of record for killing off it's name star within the first three minutes of the picture! For that's what happens to poor John as one Dr.Noymann in a radiation accident.After his funeral he rises from the dead and visits a friend Dr.Penner,played by another veteran ... Read More

Critics continue to bash "Journey" unmercifully but it's one of my childhood favorites. Many have described the plot in detail so I'll forego a plot description and instead describe the effect it had on me. I saw the film the first week it opened in 1962 at the 1200-seat Palace Theater which was packed, and hearing the audience reactions both during and after the film, many appeared to enjoy it. I was 11 at the time and that cyclops dinosaur creature scared the heck out of me! And judging by the screams ... Read More

The story: Earth's scientists are fooling around with the atom again and inhabitants of the Earth's Moon are quite unhappy about it. Of course, once atomic energy becomes a household word, the next thing you know, man will be on the Moon -- and the Moon Aliens plan to put the skids to THAT!
To prevent earthlings from exploring space, the "Invisible Invaders" (alien Moon residents) plan to attack, invade, and take over planet Earth, killing all the Earthlings in the process. Since these moon ... Read More

Fond Memories of after school movies and rainy days flooded me as I watched these moldy oldies again. Sure they both stink and are bottom of the barrel sci-fi movies, but I happen to like the bottom of this barrel very much.
The feeling of being a kid again as I watched these with my sons was great and even though they said the fx's were bad, they had fun with the movie. Not for all taste, but if you grew up in the 60's and 70's or you are a young person looking for some cheesy fun you can stop ... Read More
