they came from beyond space (1967)

A meteor shower falls to earth, attracting attention as they fall in perfect formation! Dr Curtis Temple (Robert Hutton), and his team set out to investigate. Due to a recent accident Arden doesn't travel with them to the site itself. Which is very good, as those that do are taken over by the aliens to act as slaves to repair their ship. It turns out that Temple is immune to their brainwashing, and is the earth's only hope!
A weak script and mediocre direction don't help this film, as it limps along. A cross between Quatermass 2 and It Came From Outer Space, but with none of spark that these had. Not one to seek out unless you are a Michael Gough completist.
