Poor sound, choppy editing and unnecessary narration are the keys to this unimaginative "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" rip-off that is about as believable as "The Tingler" is serious. A mysterious cone contains the alleged brain eaters that control their thoughts, not devour them. It's as dull as poor science fiction can get with Ed Nelson and Joanna Lee leading the search for the mysterious control center and facing human monsters taken over by these parasites.
I've seen dozens of these science fiction/horror films of the late 1950's and 1960's that range between imaginative and intelligent, hysterically campy and pathetically sleep enducing. The horrible title is just the beginning of the flaws of this miserable disappointment that is often difficult to see in scenes depicting extreme fog. Fortunately, it's over in just an hour, but even that was a challenge for me to tolerate.
