Good Sci Fi Movie don't see often on TV

I am a Sci-fi Buff since I saw my first ones at the saturday movies in the mid 50's! Although I never saw this one(Strange Invaders) at the movies, I did see it on television along time ago. So I was happy to find it after all these years. Great to see it again! It takes a while to build up the suspense, but once it gets going you get envolved and are willing to wait to see what happens. Special Effects are on a average classic Sci Fi level; but still liked it. I have always liked Paul Le Mat and thought him a very under rated actor. So I especially enjoyed seeing him again. A milder, enjoyable Sci Fi movie that most people will like. July 21, 2008

EXCELLENT FILM

HI,

BOTH FILMS WERE GREAT! "STRANGE INVADERS" IS ABOUT ALIENS WHO TRY TO KIDNAP A LITTLE GIRL, WHO'S MOTHER IS ACTUALLY AN ALIEN.

IN "INVADERS FROM MARS", MARTIANS HAVE LANDED IN THE BACKYARD OF A LITTLE BOY'S HOUSE. WHY ARE THESE ALIENS HERE AND WHAT'S THEIR PURPOSE? YOU'LL FIND OUT, ONCE YOU BUY THIS GREAT FILM!

BUY THIS DVD SET AND YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!

Wonderful Sci-Fi Package Of Films, Thanks MGM!

This is great package of two great sci-fi films Strange Invaders oh yes i remember this one, my scout leader show us boys this one over at his house when we had party one night, i tried to watch it but got too spooked and end up talking with him upstairs about stuff ahh the memories! i felt like such chicken, but the fellas did'nt give me a bad time, V the series was on that year and i was weirded out by things that ripped their faces off. i did'nt remember the title of the movie and want to buck up and see the ending because i felt cheated, well all those memories kick in when i began to watch it i did'nt really remember the starting just the middle as kid i probably was'nt paying too much attention to the starting. This really is a cool film and the effects hold up well there quite good. I really like it now and i'm less scared but still does give me the creeps a little the end is great. and Then there's Invaders From Mars this very excellent remake of the 1950's film very campy but a fun romp of film this one is creepy too, but by the time this one came out i was little bit older and could handle scary movies. I'm glad mgm decided to put both of these classic films together in one package dvd. Oh the main reason i bought this title is it had Invaders from Mars on it. but i'm glad i have the other film too Tobe Hooper directed this film and other horror classic Poltergiest.

Both PG For Profanity And Spooky Violence .

Highly Recommended Films.

A perfect 2-for-1...and yes, it's anamorphic

Two classic "retro" sci-fi flicks from the 80s on a single disc (it's a double sided disc, one movie on each side). These two alien movies with a 50s feel star plenty of horror veterans including Karen Black, Nancy Allen, and Louise Fletcher (who's in BOTH!). Although it doesn't even say it on the DVD case both films have a 2:35:1 aspect ratio and are both enhanced for widescreen TVs. Strange Invaders is mono, Invaders from Mars is Stereo with rear channel surround track. The films themselves haven't been impressively remastered or anything, they both have some grain and tears on the prints--of course, that adds to the retro feel of the films. February 18, 2006
