Review of They Came from Beyond Space (1967) by Jayden C — 24 Jul 2006
They Came From Beyond Space.
Starring: Robert Hutton and Jennifer Jayne.
Director: Freddie Francis.
A group of scientists researching a strange group of meteors fall prey to alien mind-control. They swiftly start spreading their domination to others, as well as start spreading a deadly plague. When they try to dominate astrophysicist Dr. Curtis Temple (Hutton), the metal plate in his head protects him. He launches a one-man battle to figure out what the aliens are up to, and how they can be stopped.
"They Came From Beyond Space" is a sci-fi movie in the "invisible invasion" mode that's got an okay cast and all the components of a great sci-fi thriller, but the stew never quite reaches a boil. The best moments of the film are the unintentional comedic moments, such as when Dr. Temple and a collegue literally create tin-foil hats for protection from the alien mind control.
And aside from unintentional comedy, there's nothing else here worth commenting on. Don't waste your time on this one.
