  • "A young boy is awakened during a storm to witness a flying saucer land in the field behind his home. No one will believe his story as, one by one, the townspeople are captured and put under the control of sinister forces from the planet Mars! Brilliantly created by visionary set designer and director William Cameron Menzies with a haunting musical score by Raoul Kraushaar, this golden age sci-fi classic has lost none of its chilling power. Surreal imagery brought to terrifying life in a Cinecolor world just beyond our nightmares!"

  • "After witnessing the landing of a flying saucer, a young boy finds his parents changed and alien in their behaviour. This film's cult status is based on the art direction by director-designer Menzies who designed the sets to enhance events as seen through the boy's eyes. Menzies' concept was weakened by a long expository dialogue-bound scene and the producer's insistence on inserting stock footage of army manoeuvres. This is the full length version with the original ending that was cut from the version previously released in Australia. Menzies' film was the first of the alien invaders genre to be made in colour. It was originally intended to be a 3-D release but the idea was dropped before production began."@en
