Great creepy 1980's smalltown alien invasion movie. Louise Fletcher was creepy as the school teacher.

February 24, 2009This movie freaked me out when I was kid. Totally recommended for anyone who is into aliens and sci fi.

August 20, 2007This remake of the 1953's sci-fi classic, about the boy who sees the Martians landing, is so true to the original that it is extraordinary exciting.

March 31, 2011Cool little movie that made me believe that if your clever enough you can make a difference even if your a kid.

March 5, 2011Bad acting and idiotic special effects combine in this remake of the original. Even Laraine Newman's assuming the voice of Connie Conehead at the end didn't help me. May I never see this again.

April 29, 2009In it's day, this was a very scary, at least to a young boy. More body snatching alliens in this one. Excellent cinematography and great but simple sets.

October 5, 2008I am kind of surprised that Tobe Hooper would delve into science fiction. This wasn't much about story telling though as it was special effects and puppetry. I remember loving this when I was younger, but I look at it now and I am just disappointed.

July 27, 2008Certainly not the tense film it set out to be, but kind of fun nonetheless. The robust 'potato-head-like' creatures are nothing short of entertaining.

July 8, 2007A well done remake of the black and white original. The revamp of the aliens and their weapons was a welcome change to the campy old version.

Jake Euker, F5 (Wichita, KS)
Shapeless 80s horror; a drag despite a hip pedigree.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Fun and fascinating Hooper reworking of the 50s classic.
