Visitor from Space (2016)
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I really love the flying saucer movies from the 1950's. They bring back fond memories of mom and dad piling me and my brothers and sisters in to the family station wagon for a Saturday night at the Drive in. Visitor from Space would have been one of those movies my whole family would have really enjoyed.
Two things in this movie really jumped out at me. I really like the scene of the two backwoods hunters who have the first encounter with the alien. I sure was nervous waiting to see whether or not they got vaporized like the three poor guys from War of the Worlds.
Speaking of War of the Worlds, I noticed how Visitor from Space included a salute to that film's producer George Pal. If you listen closely, the opening of the bar scene that includes the Air Force guy and the female scientist includes a snippet from the Woody Woodpecker song.
Why is that important? Well, Pal included something from his friend Walter Lantz'z Woody Woodpecker in every science fiction film her produced. Not bad.
You will love Visitor from Space, warts and all, if you are a true fan of 50's flying saucer movies.
