Unfairly overlooked gem of the American alien invasion cycle of the Fifties.
Not only are the aliens (budget-sensibly) invisible, but also able to possess the corpses of the recently deceased, using them as their army. And do these walking dead look and move like George Romero zombies in Night of the Living Dead! It's a thing of beauty.
The film is surprisingly tight, with the usual gigantic plot holes, but more believable (I nearly said mature) character arcs and subliminal leftist tendencies.
Darling of the Day:
"The dead will kill the living! And the people of earth will cease to exist."
