THE PLOT:
While overseeing a Nuclear test, Dr. Douglas Martin and his airplane are lost of radar. The worst is feared when the wreckage
of the plane is found but no Douglas to be found. A week later Douglas returns with no memory of the crash or where he's
been. But is compelled to break into the base and steal Government secrets on Nuclear weapons.
After being captured, they examine him and try to regain the lost memories. While under hynosis Doug remembers the crasha
nd being dead. Then these strange Bug-Eyed Aliens resurrecting him and forcing him to be a slave.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
I must admit the eye effects were good and the fact they lived underground. That explains why they have no eyelids. But
the fact that we don't get to see them in the bulk of the movie is just wrong and cheap. The flick is called KILLERS FROM
SPACE, so when you pay your two bits, you expect to see KILLERS FROM SPACE and at around 71 minutes, the makers should have
given them more screen time. The next thing, if they are so advanced to come to this planet, why do they need to steal nuclear
secrets. My God, I wouldn't have been surprised if the whole thing was fake and the KILLERS FROM SPACE was the Russians.
It would have made more sense. They didn't go that route. Instead they gave us a bunch of super imposed animals and insects.
Lame, dumb and I'm glad PETER GRAVES finally became a star and don't have to make this toilet fodder anymore. I give THE
KILLERS FROM SPACE...THE NOOSE!
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree with Zedd. But Zedd was wrong to call this Toilet Fodder, that is an insult...to toilet fodder. This movie is worse
then toilet fodder and I wish I could dump it. But it's in a box set with two movies we both liked. So we are stuck with
it. I too give KILLERS FROM SPACE...THE NOOSE!
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ EYES (The eyes were perfect. They were blended in with the actor's face seemlessly.)
+ PETER GRAVES (He's always good, no matter what toilet fodder he's in.)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- ADVANCED WORLD (These so-called advanced aliens came trillions of zillions of miles to steal nuclear secrets?)
- SENSE (The whole thing made no sense, it would make more sense that it was the Solviet Union faking the whole alien
thing ala Scooby-Doo.)
- BLOWN UP ANIMALS (Cheesy blown up animals to make them look huge.)
...AND FINALLY...
- NOT ENOUGH ALIENS (At a mere hour and eleven minutes I wish we could have seen more of the KILELRS FROM SPACE. Other then
flashback. One big invasion of the cave by the army would have been cool.)
