kharing Review of Killers from Space

Killers from Space (1954)

Impossible to take seriously...but oh so good

[30 July 2007]

As soon as the first pair of hazy, faded eyes appear to Doug in a vision, it is apparent that the movie doesn't have much production value. This is furthered when Doug is brought to the aliens' underground lair and you see what they actually LOOK like. I gotta applaud Graves on his acting, because I would not have been able to act in the same situation AND withhold my laughter. Perhaps what made me laugh most about the movie was the scene where Doug is running around the 'zoo' that the aliens constructed in their lair. If you look hard enough at all the camera views of him running around between the different animals, it becomes clear that they only had a small section of 'cave' to film with, because he rounds the same corner about 10 times. Definitely good for anyone who enjoys the campyness of 50's horror filmography.
