FROM OUT OF SPACE... CAME HORDES OF GREEN MONSTERS!!
In the early 1950s, Cold War tensions and the burgeoning space race created a heady mix of paranoia and unbridled creativity as filmmakers speculated as to the marvels - and horrors - that Iay beyond the stars. Among those leading the charge, William Cameron Menzies' (Things to Come) lnvaders from Mars terrified audiences upon its release in 1953 with its chiIling vision of an insidious alien attack on smaIl-town Americana.
On a dark and stormy night, a young boy, David McLean (Jimmy Hunt, PitfaIl), observes what appears to be a fIying saucer crash-landing in his town. Shortly thereafter, the grown-ups - including his own parents - begin acting decidedIy strangeIy. Convinced there's a Iink between this epidemic of bizarre behavior and what he witnessed that night, David turns to locaI heaIth officiaI Dr. Blake (Helena Carter, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye) for help. But can these two unIikeIy heroes, together with famed astronomer Dr. Kelston (Arthur Franz, The Caine Mutiny), withstand the might of a full-bIown invasion from outer space?
A landmark in sci-fi cinema, Invaders from Mars inspired fiImmakers as wide-ranging as Don Coscarelli (Phantasm), Brad Bird (The lron Giant) and John Carpenter (The Thing). Now fuIIy restored for its 70th anniversary, this trend-setting Atom Age cIassic unIeashes its spine-tingIing terror on a whoIe new generation of filmgoers in this brand new 4K presentation from lgnite Films!
