'Marines have no qualms about killing Martians, son,' is my favourite line of dialogue from this movie . . .
As vivid as a nightmare.
Shapeless 80s horror; a drag despite a hip pedigree.
Fun and fascinating Hooper reworking of the 50s classic.
a clunky remake that fails to frighten
Great creepy 1980's smalltown alien invasion movie. Louise Fletcher was creepy as the school teacher.

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