INVISIBLE INVADERS 1959 (MGM)

One of my 10 favorite 50's films!!!! Invisible aliens from the moon invade earth and inhabit the bodies of dead earth people and soon the world is under a zombie attack!! Scientists Phillip Tonge, Jean Byron and Robert Hutton are attempting to fight the invaders from an underground bunker and they are assisted by army man John Agar. John Carradine is a dead scientist who brings the earth the war warning. Directed by Edward L. Cahn, this is simply a masterpiece of 50's sci-fi and a forerunner to Night Of The Living Dead. I first saw this on KCPX TV in Salt Lake City, Utah in the early 80's and it impressed me so much I even recorded it onto cassette and learned the dialogue word for word!! The films runs only 67 minutes so the action starts right off and never lets up. MGM put this out along with Journey To The Seventh Planet for a hell of a double bill. If you haven't seen this yet, do so. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
