Title: great 50s sci fi
Product review: This is the kind of film that used to be on TV real late at night, which I would watch with a friend who was staying over. This one, which is rather low budget, is really scary and mysterious. It starts out with an invisible creature, which is attacking people and seems impossible to understand - at one point, it cuts a tiny hole in a screen to enter a home. What could it be, one wonders? But all one can do is hear the sound of its movement, then witness the destruction of those attacked. THere some genuinely frightening scenes, like one I remember scared us so bad we shut it off: a guy is attacked and survives, but wanders into a meeting disfigured and moaning.While I found the explanation a bit disappointing, it is well done nonetheless, adding to our early mythology about radioaction-powered devices.REcommended for both nostalgia's sake and as a solid sci fi experience.
