@@GoodBadFlicks Thank you, Cecil. Same to you as well. Whether it’s a good day or a bad day for me, whenever I watch your videos, they put me at ease and allow me to escape from the stresses of life. Not to mention, I find myself exploring more films and genres as a result of watching your videos. You are a very talented and enthusiastic narrator, content creator, and filmmaker. Keep up the great work, man. 👍🏿

FINALLY!!!! I have been trying to remember the title of this film for years. HBO used to show this one in fairly regular rotation. That scene of the townspeople revealing their true appearance as they removed their human costumes while marching towards the mothership has stuck with me for many years. Thank you again to GBF for finally resolving this lingering mystery from my misspent youth!

@korbell1089 3 года назад

No wonder this movie sank into obscurity. No weather related disasters, no guerilla filming because of money running out, no onerous demands from the studios and everyone on set enjoyed their time there and no drama. Its a wonder the movie got made at all! As for critics, they get so full of themselves and their own opinions that they decide that their job is to trash a movie as soon as they can instead of judging it on its merits. This movie never planned on being an Oscar contender and that is how it should have been critiqued.

Ask Rumiko Takahashi. When she made Inyuasha that was literally just a bunch of characters from Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura with different names and hairstyles in the feudal setting as her short stories like Fire Tripper. When you're familiar with her entire body of work, you can never unsee that InuYasha is just her ripping off all her old material and there's not a single new, original idea in it.

Screw Pauline Kael. This is a really excellent and fun movie. I've seen _Strange Behavior_ too, and it's a total mystery to me how Kael could praise one so highly and completely trash the other.

@martincann5052 3 года назад

Every time I hear Kael's name, it's always regarding how she hated this film or that, usually quite famous and well regarded ones. She's a key reason why I feel that US film critics are even more pretentious than those from other nations, they always seem to be trying too hard to demonstrate their intellectual chops. Roger Ebert is another good example.

@otaking3582 3 года назад

@@UnwrittenSpade Also known as "Extra Terrestrial Terrors", it's a Spanish/French co-production about an alien that kills people on earth as it looks for its child. Originally it was intended as a straight-up horror film, but then E.T. was released and the producers shoehorned in a subplot about the alien child befriending some random kid, creating severe mood whiplash. I recommend watching the MST3K version of the movie, which you can find in its entirety here on RU-vid.

It was odd, but that just lent to some of the 50's films, and even some from the 1960's and 1970's that tried to do something different. Edit: I think this was one I managed to watch with some friends as well, who also liked it.

Holy fuck, I think THIS might the movie that scarred me for life as a kid. I caught a glimpse of it on a shitty old black-and-white TV set in my aunt's room when I was maybe 5, and that scene with the aliens ripping their faces off and chasing the protagonists through the mist (?) was forever seared into my mind. All I remembered was that it was about a secret alien invasion, but there's like what, three Invasion of the Body Snatchers movies alone, so I gave up trying to find it. Can't believe based Cecil would just deliver it to my internet doorstep like that.

@Eisenwulf666 3 года назад

Great video Cecil! The plot reminds me of a couple of short stories by P. K. Dick, an author that really mastered the post war paranoia. He even refused to go pick up the Hugo prize he won because he thought it was a "soviet trick".

Most mainstream audiences don't get films like this, no matter when they're released. It's an interesting thing, watching how people seem to take the popular view of a thing as their opinion, until years later, when a lot of people see things without the opinions of another colouring their view.
