What a refreshing treat! I saw this film on AMC and found it fascinating. The story line centers around a typical 50s sci-fi film about aliens invading a small midwestern town. Entomologist Paul LeMat and sleaze tabloid reporter Nancy Allen get themselves into quite a mess when they discover the aliens.
There are a couple of scenes to make you jump but not out-and-out frightening. **spoiler** There is one scene of a child turning into an alien which is kind of disturbing. I wouldn't recommend this film for kids under 10.***end of spoiler*** The aliens are nasty-looking when they peel their human faces off and have what looks like Gatorade for blood shoot out when they're injured. I got a real thrill from seeing veteran actor Charles Lane in a bit of a different role than a grumpy turd but still stern and serious. The musical score also adds to the thrilling chase scenes. This is definitely worth the time. Enjoy.
