Invasion of the star creatures (1962) download torrent

It begins from the opening scenes with the hijinks between the two idiotic army privates Bob Ball and Frankie Ray that involve them fooling around with an out of control high-pressure hose, Ball talking about wanting to try out for the astronaut program and deciding to cram himself into a garbage can whereupon Ray throws a lit cigarette in. Things rapidly nosedive when the two idiots encounter the aliens.

Firstly, there are the vegetable creatures that are the alien men and are grown in planter pots — something that cannot help but lead to some interesting speculation about how sexual reproduction occurs on Kalar. These are some of the very worst monster costumes to come out of the s alien invader fad and look like ambulatory versions of leeks that have gone several days past their due date.

Some of the scenes with the vegetable men are thoroughly embarrassing — like where VeSota sets up a Keystone Kops routine where the soldiers flee through the openings on either side of the cave, followed by the creatures, both pursuing the other back and forward from one side to the other.

Even worse is the scene where they escape from the caves and we get a montage of scenes with Ball and Ray outwitting the vegetable men, hiding behind tree trunks and running around the other side, sliding back and forward between their legs. All that seems missing is the requisite undercranked camera and piano score. And then there are the alien women.

For some reason, the actresses cast are or are at least filmed as being over a foot taller than the men. Things become even worse with the introduction of a group of Indians. The most likely reason would seem to be that Bruno VeSota was able to corral a group of extras and costumes for the day. These scenes have an embarrassing amateurism, least of which is that none of the actors seems to have much of the idea what they are doing there.

Even worse though is the racism that makes you cringe. It goes without saying that the film is painfully cheaply made. Location shooting takes place at the instantly recognisable Bronson Canyon, the close-to-Hollywood locale that has turned up in dozens on films and tv shows, ranging from Robot Monster to Invasion of the Body Snatchers , episodes of Star Trek and countless B Westerns and serials.

In the latter years, Perilli scripted a bunch of low-budget films for Charles Band with the likes of Mansion of the Doomed , Cinderella , End of the World , Fairy Tales , Laserblast and Zoltan … Hound of Dracula , as well as the high profile Alligator Plot Philbick and Penn, two idiotic privates stationed at the missile base at Fort Nicholson, are assigned to join a unit that is investigating a new impact crater.

Many people mentioned the stereotypes and how offensive it is I mean when the alien chick pulls the "kiss? What's kiss? My favorite thing is the long pauses between dialog with Philbert and the poor mic treatment. It sounds like they had only one boom for a huge room so everyones voices are picked up at different levels I give this one two snaps in Z formation.
