Georgan G @RT98616417 12/22/2023 Another from the 50 SciFi Classics Collection. Sort of watchable, but uneven plot makes it boring. "Invisible" alien who needs a space suit to survive arrives on earth. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 09/24/2018 Blobbo still have siight, brain particles after watching full movie. Star is reward for big surprise. See more 01/02/2018 Another intrepid low-budget sci-fi flick from director Lee Wilder, though this one is hindered by an ultra-silly script which includes people talking about an alien they've encountered "who has no head" even though the alien's space helmet is a solid mass except for a checkbook-sized tinted visor. The alien is also described as a "giant of a man" despite one scene where he runs through an empty lot at an estimated height of about 5-7 or so. Still a fun movie, especially for aficionados of this genre. See more 05/03/2015 Joe Dante noted on his review of Phantom from Space, that it was one of the wilder science fiction films of the 1950's and i have to admit it's different. But the movie has a few bad sides: a lac of violence, very slow pacing, an over use of stock footage and an never ending narration. But it's still an okay low budget film, invisible alien and cheesy plot. See more dwayne r @Dwendl 03/12/2015 Some of the worst acting I've seen. Plus scenes like, "Oh look. This suit drives the Geiger counter crazy. Let's stand around it and talk while Charlie gets a lead box to put it in.." See more 05/13/2014 So we have another one of those sci-fi's when a strange man in a suit drops from outer space, this time he happens to be invisible underneath his suit and goes around hurting a few people. Eventually the scientists trying to track him down manage to shanghai his suit because he gets out of it for some reason even though his life is dependent on the gas that is in the suits breathing apparatus. With the suit they set a trap because they know he will need to return to breathe the gas again. Memorable moments, the film was that dull I only remember two things in detail. The first one being the worst comb over I have ever seen being sported by a man in a radio station who pops on frequently to send messages over his tannoy. The second memory I have was when the alien locked the woman in the science lab and watched her labour over some machinery, they should have named this 'Pervert from Space' just because of that scene. Other criticisms were the amount of narration used to explain this, it was obvious that they must not have had all the facilities possible to just create the story and had to resort to a sort of narration that sounded similar to a news reporter to explain this. One positive is I thought was some of the special effects were pretty good for its day, not all the moving invisible objects were moved by string. See more Read all reviews
