"QUIERO MIS TELENOVELAS!" A Woman Screams! "I WANT My SOAPS!"-Mistranslated as: "I Want My STORIES!"
Tony-Kiss-Castillo16 November 2021
For me, the Above line of dialogue, used in my TITLE, was one of the very few bright spots in this extremely short (Thank God for that!) Argentine Film! After viewing, I will bet most people just might be shouting out those very same words of bizarre dialogue!

To be fair to all those involved in the production of this Movie, considering it is said to have been made in 1965, the quality of many of its technical production aspects could be considered as, Well..... ACCEPTABLE.... For a South American Film... I suppose!

Oddly enough, a couple films made decades later, seemingly borrowed a few of its elements here and there! Pure speculation, of course...On my part... But, then again... Who knows! Maybe I should add..."Who Cares!?!?!?!?"

If You should EVER find yourself in a position where this over half a Century old film is an available option... And You are in a quandry as to whether or not to watch.... My sage advice can be synthesized into one syllable: "DON´T!" (Unless you are looking for some off-the-wall laughs... After smoking something containing a considerable quantity of 9-Delta-Tetra-Hydra-Cannibal as one of its principal components!!!)

3+++ (For a Number of UNINTENTIONAL Laughs!)

Stay Tuned for Tedium

Warning: Spoilers
Although I certainly enjoy seeking out obscure pre-1970 scifi and horror films, "Estrana Invasion" was a particularly tough slog to sit through. In fact, the only special effect of the film is a TV screen that broadcasts a wavy lined image which hypnotizes children and older people. Even worse were repetitive scenes of listless quasi-zombiefied children breaking into their neighbors homes to watch their TVs. Meanwhile, the dull dialogue, amateur acting, mundane sets and cinematography, meander into an absolutely bewildering conclusion that involves souped up swamp gas, germanium. and a crazed electrician who vows to control and destroy everyone at will!

However, I did find some amusement viewing an Argentine film with a predominately Spanish speaking cast, that purports to be set in the US. For instance, in my subtitled DVD-R, American actor Richard Conte is constantly addressed as "Intendent" and "Washington officials" are constantly berated by the irritated town folks.

Although, this film released to the US in 1974, it had been sitting in the can since 1965. Watch and see why its release had been delayed for so long.
