matt dukes j @RT60324868 Aug 5, 2023 This is a silly, funny spoof of 1950s and 1960s sci-fi "invasion by alien monsters from outer space" film. The acting is intentionally moronic and wooden. N0 efforts at naturalism or method acting here. Just goofy imitation B-movie acting. The invaders are critters from another planet who are parasites -- in the form of foreheads. This is also silly. They attach to humans on their foreheads and take control of the body. This film echoes the classic film INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS starring Kevin McCarthy -- who makes a brief, funny cameo in this film. Dick Miller is also in the film -- actor in many Roger Corman '60s drive-in films. The characters are stereotypes -- like the mad scientist type -- in this case a female scientist who of course creates a monster unintentionally. Sci-fi films are often about our anxieties about technology and science and how they change and impact human life. This films spoofs sci-fi fears. Mainly it spoofs those old corny 1950s and 1960s films. It's fun. See more Dec 2, 2017 Ok...if you're looking for high art this is not it. But if you're looking to be entertained by some loopy writing, and crazy story, with not bad production values. Watch this, and all of Larry's movies. This is a great spoof of those B-Movies, and unless you are a complete grouch, you will find something that will make you have genuine belly laughs! Gather some friends around and have a great time. (also don't miss The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra ..truly a great spoof of b-movies from the 50s,,,meow) See more Aug 22, 2017 I love a silly film once in a while and this one has the perfect weird plot. Some aliens come to a small place somewhere in America. They are actually forheads. They attach to people's heads and they turn weird. They have strenght but finding their weaknesses is hard. People are fighting them as they are slowly taking over the population. Who will win? Plenty of stupidity, loads of great, dry one-liners and actions. It gave me many laughs and it's actually nailing the master of being so bad it's getting really entertaining. I loved most of it and it's definitely one of the strangest little gems I've seen in a while. It's quite impressive to make a film about nothing but forheads so watchable. 6 out of 10 bells.

You have to be very skilled to look this schmaltzy. The acting is hilarious in its nuanced absurdity. The dialogue is clever and the delivery is exceptionally low-keyed and amazingly understated. Understated but with the appropriate bite. Witty and hilariously deadpan performances. See more Jun 13, 2014 Noble effort from independent filmmaker Larry Blamire. However, not as funny as 'The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra'. See more Read all reviews
