This is a fun movie, even if it is on the lower end of my favorite Harryhausen movies. Sven aired it last night, and it had all his general fun shenanigans. The movie is just kind of... there. It's the saucers, they just aren't that much fun as Ray's regular menagerie of monsters and creatures. Ray's effects are excellent and the movie is compact, everything is properly spaced out. For the life me though, I don't know why these aliens are attacking the Earth though. It has to be in there, right?The saucers look great, and have been paid homage to in several other movies. Some of the destruction scenes have also showed up in movies, such as The Giant Claw. Ray is let down by a script that doesn't have a face for it's antagonist.Next up- The Haunted Strangler, a movie I have never seen.
