Edgar may not have approved but I sure do. That Area 51 sequence in Looney Tunes: Back in Action is wonderful. - @Saturday, June 16, 2018 11:01 AM

This was one of those films that always seemed to turn up on TV. The alien was pretty scary to me back then, but that didn't stop me from watching it every chance I could get. - @Thursday, October 9, 2014 9:36 PM

Another staple of late night Cleveland TV, and a damn good one. John L. Russell (PSYCHO) is the credited DP, but Ulmer has stated in interviews that his friend, the legendary Eugen Shuftan (METROPOLIS, THE HUSTLER) usually did the actual camerawork on his movies, uncredited, because he couldn't get into the camera union here in the states. Not that Russell isn't great, and underrated. - @Friday, September 5, 2014 9:34 PM

Ha I felt sorry for the Alien, the woman's description, geez lady not everyone looks like Brad Pitt lol. I think it is still a fun watch, we send out messages to outer space, include Earth info and greetings in our probes but if anything shows up how are we really likely to react? KILL !!!!!!!! I actually found this alien to be one of the least intimating I have ever seen lol - @Friday, August 29, 2014 1:33 AM
