ofpsmith For a film called Attack of the Eye Creatures there aren't many eye creatures...or attacks...or attacks by those eye creatures. No what we really see is a story about some teenagers who find dead bodies of the eye creatures and then try to warn police about what's going on. Meanwhile the US Air Force is also trying to figure out what's happening and there are a bunch of random scenes of teenagers making out. It's like Manos: The Hands of Fate but there are more couples and they never stop. That's pretty much the movie. The film depicts these different stories of what's going on which is kind of clever and neat. But the stories don't have a lot of interest and it just falls flat. There's only one attack scene at the end and it's not even good. The acting for the most part is pretty bad but there are a few actors who actually do well. But the movie is pretty much crap.

oynaqozgar This is a remake of "Invasion Of The Saucer Men" (1957) While the original attempted to be serious, this version goes for a more comical attempt. It fails at this, instead of funny it can get boring at times by actors that over act being stupid and the writing gives them nothing in the way of comical. The special effect are very low budget and it appears to have been just kicked out without getting the "shots" that are done right. I think the director yelled "Print" way to fast on this one.If you choose between the two movies go with the 1957 original, it has all the camp and magic that you get from old 50s Si Fi.This version can be difficult to watch if you have seen the original first. If not, then it can be enjoyable if you don't expect too much.

mlraymond The original Invasion of the Saucer Men was no masterpiece, but it's generally agreed that this remake is far worse.Most of the intentional humor is pretty lame, and there's an amateurish quality about the film-making that at least proves the original movie was competently done.That being said, it must be admitted that this movie does manage to be kind of entertaining, if you have nothing better to do some evening.The young couple make a cute pair.The familiar presence of AIP leading man John Ashley is like meeting up with an old friend, and the sweet young thing played by Cynthia Hull is really pretty and appealing.It's fun to see how much of the music you can identify from other movies. In a couple of romantic scenes, there's an instrumental version playing of a song Annette Funicello sang in one of the Beach Party movies. When people are dancing at the bar, there's an instrumental from AIP's Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow. And I'm convinced a lot of the scary music is taken from Roger Corman's The Undead. Whether all this was intended as a sort of inside joke, or just making use of stock music, I don't know. I'm also pretty sure that there's at least some music from Hammer's Dracula, Prince of Darkness.The movie is kind of fun, if you don't have high expectations. Though made in the mid-Sixties, it has a sort of Fifties feel to it not too different from the original version.

cheapthrills Unlike what a previous reviewer said about this film being a ripoff of Roger Corman's films, it is not. AIP, who owned all the films Corman did during the 50s, decided they were going to remake these films as cheaply as possible ($30,000) and sell the to television. So, AIP hired Texas filmmaker Larry Buchanan and had him film Zontar the Thing from Venus,Curse of the Swamp Creature, In the Year 2889 ,Creature of Destruction ,and The Eye Creatures. These were all remakes of 50's AIP films. Yes, these films are all hastily made messes, and yes they are bad, but in an entertaining way. I for one miss by-the-seat-of-your-pants film-making, as well as miss the master, Larry Buchanan.
