"Then on Saturday about midnight the ugly nightmare began."
Riverdale, Illinois and a huge alien structure is found in the woods. At the same time several prominent townsfolk are murdered. Senator Walter Powers (Cornelius Keefe) is sent to investigate the object and discovers that parasites from the earth's core have infiltrated the town. The parasites have taking control of the authorities. Cutting off the town from the outside world. Responsibility for stopping the invasion falls to Powers and a small group not infected, including scientist Paul Kettering (Ed Nelson).
This is a standard invasion flick, but lacks the paranoia that usually ramps up the tension in these pieces. Despite that it passes quickly enough. Watch for an early appearance of Leonard Nimoy.
