Viewing Notes
To cap the evening I revisited the creepy Invaders from Mars (1953). This film frightened me as a child and occasionally I think of the imagery & sequences it presents. I think the idea of alien possession really got to me and made me concerned for the same thing happening to my own father. Film holds up and still resides on my top 5 alien invader list for good cause.
