'Marines have no qualms about killing Martians, son,' is my favourite line of dialogue from this movie . . .

Shapeless 80s horror; a drag despite a hip pedigree.

Fun and fascinating Hooper reworking of the 50s classic.

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