Movie Review
I remember watching this movie as a kid and it scared me and give me nightmares as well so it was fun going back to watch a movie that I have not see in years this one still creeps me out some with the way story was set up this is a Science fiction but this one to seems like a both Science fiction and horror mixed because this one is scary and very creepy movie story is about some saucer landed over the hill and then dad went over the hill and came back acting like something odd happen to him like he was taking over by something then we see a hole or something in back head very creepy so pretty much from there know it was going to be one creepy later on mom goes over the hill and become like the father I was then going something very odd is over the hill but what? well later on we find out who behind taking over humans turns out to be krang look alike alien ugly looking thing so pretty much they are after david and humans to take over earth pretty much this one was a creepy one from what I see it was rated PG should of been rated PG-13 but this was 80's where sometimes feel PG movies seem like PG-13 movies from start to end it was scary movie but it was great re-watch again as a adult as for ending of movie it was great they left it to make you think if it was a dream or was it not over yet very well play ending there in my view for A movie a very good movie let say this was.
most disturbings parts of the movie
pretty much the teacher eating a whole frog was disturbing in my view this one of reason why it should of PG-13 and not PG movie something you may not want see if you eat something during the movie and aliens were ugly looking as well did not scare me much though but will say they made this one creepy by drilling in the back of your head so there are a few things of movie that are sort of disturbing.
acting
sure was something to see James Karen in this one as Gen. Climet Wilson see him in return of living dead movies least he was not fighting zombies in this one but now aliens did enjoy see him again in this one he was great as General as for acting was good others did a great job at acting odd after being taken over bye aliens acting was not bad in this one.
final thoughts
last time I see this movie was about many years ago and now watching it now it is still creepy to me some this was a good movie not best but a good remake of 1953 one I have not see that but do plan on watching whenever I can find it but this 1980's remake fits in well with 80's era so check out this one if you like creepy 80's movies think this one will fit you will.
