The quality on this is beautiful and a huge upgrade from a much older copy I have.
Forrest Tucker stars as Gil Graham, a scientist working as an assistant to Dr. Laird (Alec Mango) who is conducting experiments with changing the chemical makeup of various metals.
The experiments have unexpected consequences such as creating freak weather and blowing out TV sets in a small town. It also attracts an alien from another planet who comes to Earth to stop the scientists.
The alien who calls himself Smith (Martin Benson) attempts to explain his mission to Gil and Michele Dupont (Gaby Andre). Both come to believe him as the experiments gets worse and worse.
Soon there are giant insects roaming the countryside and the military is called in to stop the invaders. Laird however has been driven insane by his experiments and so the alien must also destroy him.
This is a fun and offbeat British sci-fi film that has never failed to entertain me. The effects are so-so, but who cares. I like it anyway. This is also known as "The Strange World Of Planet X". If you haven't seen it, check it out.
