Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

doctorx150 Just a boring stinker of a movie. You won't want to watch it again, ever. I love these long boring reviews trying to analyze an boring film. Have fun. LOL

calvinnme The plot, very briefly, involves men from Mars who want to stop Earth from exploring their planet. The Martians travel through the galaxy to inhabit the bodies of a scientist and his family - that is, there is the "real" scientist and his family, and then there are their "body doubles" (the Martians, carrying out their mission). On top of this grave threat to humankind, there is a subplot as we view a crumbling marriage between the two leads. But I wondered if anyone who saw it really cared about them since it was definitely a B-picture. (Kent Taylor and Marie Windsor star as the scientist and his wife).There were some truly creepy moments in the movie, though. Claire Fielding (Marie Windsor) learns from her son that there is an open door on the estate property where the family is residing. She goes to lock it, then hears movement around her. She becomes scared and hurries on. Suddenly her husband is standing there, with a look that is malevolent. "Where are you going, Claire!" he asks in an a threatening voice. We the audience know that it's really a Martian, but we watch from the point of view of Claire, who's never seen her "husband" this way, and the effect is unsettling. Another weird scene involves the daughter and her doppelganger - the doppelganger looks at her with evil intent. Not to mention what the daughter's doppelganger does to the young love interest of the daughter. As for the rest, watch and find out.This film is better than its low rating, and I'd say if you like those low budget scifi's from the 50's and 60's this one is definitely worth your time.

utgard14 A scientist in charge of America's space program takes a vacation with his wife and two kids, only to find they are being haunted by mysterious doppelgangers of themselves. Good sci-fi story of the Body Snatchers variety. I'm not sure why this one is rated so low on IMDb. My first guess was that Mystery Science Theater was to blame but apparently not this time. The direction is static and the movie has a sort of made-for-TV quality about it, but I thought it was enjoyable. It kept my interest throughout and, despite the lack of action or special effects, I was never bored. There is also a decent amount of atmosphere and suspense. The movie makes great use of its location shooting at the famous Greystone Mansion. If you like old-school sci-fi movies, even ones filmed on a low budget, then you will probably like this one.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- The Day Mars invaded Earth, 1963, Earth scientist send a robot probe to Mars and it arrives but is destroyed by a Martian intelligence. The Martains invade Earth as a response to the robot probe but duplicating the major scientist and his immediate family.*Special Stars- Kent Taylor, Marie Windsor, William Mims, Betty Beall, Gregg Shank *Theme- Planets always defend themselves.*Trivia/location/goofs- This film was shot in Beverly Hills, Greystone Mansion. The owner was an oil billionaire, now a public park and the house is open for tours as a county park. Look for the jokey robot probe on Mars in the opening scenes.*Emotion- Very little intricate plot points are in this film and the film's downbeat ending is expected, premature and boring. The only plot twist scene that was memorable was the family's body ashes are seen in the pool and that washes away when the pool is filled by the Martian impostors. A thoroughly un-entertaining film in all aspects. Does not have even a 50's B-movie corny dose of a campy fun for the viewer. A flat film with little to call memorable.
