Invisible Invaders (1959) REVIEW

This film is for me like the "well done" version of Plan 9 From Outer Space. It has the same basic plot: aliens resurrect the dead as zombies, to conquer the world. From the start it's a tragic movie, with the beloved scientist Carl Noyman dying because of an atomic experiment failure, making Dr. Adam Penner notice that atomic reaserch and weapons will end up destroying mankind. At night, after Noyman's funeral, Penner recieves a visit of Noyman's corpse, which we are told is being possesed by an invisible alien, whose race has been living on the moon for 20,000 years. Possesed Noyman tells Penner that mankind has 24 hours to surrender, before the aliens attack, using the dead as soldiers, claiming that the dead will destroy the living. 24 hours pass and Dr. Penner's warning was laughed by newspapers and high ranks, invasion start as hordes of zombies seize the world, the zombies are unvulnerable against any method of attack known to man. Penner and other characters are safely taken to a bomb shelter by the U. S. Army, which is located anywhere else than Bronson Cave! There Penner and another scientist are supposed to create a weapon to destroy de invisible aliens, they capture an alien and discover that it is vulnerable to sound. So you all now what happens next, the scientists makes "sound guns" and destroy the aliens. This is a very rare film, or at least little known, there is only one version available on DVD which is on MGM's Midnight Movies on a double feature with "Voyage to the Seventh Planet", a Sci-Fi film that is little more than a Twilight Zone episode, only longer, which is great for Twilight Zone fans. As I said before, for me this is like the good one, the well made "Plan 9 From Outer Space" the aclaimed worst movie ever made, and that is a lie, it's a very entertaining film that should not be taken seriously because it's made by Ed Wood, the worst director of all time, you can't expect much and I've seen a lot worse believe me, a whole lot worse. As for this film it's a good b-movie if you enjoy b-movies, give this a watch it will not leave you dissapointed.

                                            This film is a good b-movie so:
                                 6.5/10
