Comic booky title notwithstanding,
INVADERS FROM MARS
is a real sci-find – not only because of excellent special effects and
stunning art direction (by legendary production designer William Cameron
Menzies), but also because we see the action from a kid's point of
view. David wakes up to see a flying saucer land behind his house, but
of course nobody believes him. But then, starting with David’s dad,
people start getting their minds and hearts snatched by Martian
invaders, and only David, his teacher and an astronomer are left to
alert the Army. Just as David is about to get
his mind zapped and the U.S. miliary are preparing to blow up the Martians, David wakes up and realizes it was all a dream ... and
then he wakes to the sound of a flying saucer.
