4/10
No suspense
26 July 2009
A meteorite crashes into the desert and John (Richard Carlson) and Ellen (Barbara Rush) along with friend Pete are first on the scene. John goes deep into the crash site and sees a spaceship buried in the rubble before things start crumbling around him and he heads back up to safety. The scene is now covered with rubble and no-one believes his story. Furthermore, he believes that some alien life-forms have escaped from the spaceship. They have. And they can take human form which they do. They take up residence in a disused mine-shaft before the finale....

The problem with the film is that there is no suspense. It is never really very exciting. There is a good confrontation at the end between John and Ellen, who is really an alien, in the mine-shaft but that is the only real stand-out part of the film. The aliens are laughably bad when we see them.

Its a film with silly creatures that's OK. It runs its course and that's that - not very interesting really.
