"We are all puzzled and just a little bit afraid."
Zontar hitches a ride to Earth and with the aid of science nerd Keith Ritchie (Anthony Houston) and once here starts to take over various humans in a hideous attempt to take over the world! Can scientist Dr. Curt Taylor (John Agar) stop Zontar from taking over the world?
A remake of Roger Corman's "It Conquered the World" (1956) and its not an improvement!

Cheap and not so cheerful...

mars needs women (1967)
The red planet is dying, as the Martians are producing only males. Thus a group is dispatched to Earth in an attempt to woo some females back. The leader of this bunch, Dop (Tommy Kirk) picks on Dr. Marjorie Bolen (Yvonne Craig) as their first victims, but will she and others undertake the journey?
Cheesy and packed with unintentionally funny lines, this is a classic bad meaning good flick.

attack of the eye creatures (1965)
"Let's get out of here."
Stan Kenyon (John Ashley) and his girlfriend Susan Rogers (Cynthia Hull) are planning to elope. Unfortunately for them they stop at lovers lane first and spot something dodgy in the woods, some meandering aliens! Their troubles really start though when they accidentally run one of the creatures over, and make the mistake of telling the police. Obviously the police they are skeptical, and finding a man dead on the same road, do what any good cop would do, swiftly charge Stan with hit and run. Now Stan has two troubles, the cops and aliens loose in the woods!
Funny for all the wrong reasons; plot errors, lack of costumes and bad scripting. There is nothing left to chance by the producers in making sure this is one of those 'so bad it's bad' flicks.

in the year 2889 (1967)
"The six of us in this house may be the begining of a new era."
Immediately following an atomic war, a number of survivors arrive at a house sheltered from the radiation because it's in a valley. But trouble soon follows when they are surrounded by cannibalistic mutants with telepathic powers.
One of those films where they seem to be making it up as they go along, even though it's actually a made for tv remake of The Day The World Ended, and whilst Corman made things work with the mearist of ingredients, Buchanan can't!

the eye creatures (1965)
aka Attack of the Eye Creatures.
"I expected to be frightened on my wedding night, but nothing like this!"
Some aliens land on earth, at a local lovers lane spot, and one promptly gets itself run over by a couple of teens. They inevitably inform the authorities, and they inevitably don't believe them...
Bad plot, full of ridiculous characters, and teens played by 30 year olds, 80 minutes you will never get back!

curse of the swamp creature (1966)
"The best study for man is man himself."
The swamplands of Texas is home to Dr. Simond Trent (Jeff Alexander), whose vocation is experimenting on the locals, and reversing the evolutionary process! Then geologist Barry Rogers (John Agar) and crook Brenda Simmons (Shirley McLine) stray into his lab. This can only lead to trouble...
Enjoyable and educational; for one thing, I never knew there were swamps in Texas. The sort of monster flick that plays fast and loose with logic, and throws in every trick it can to keep it cheap and camp.
