As a kid I spent many Saturday afternoons watching classic 50's flicks like this one. Rainy days were the best, because you could not go outside anyway, and there's nothing like a good black and white B-movie on a rainy day. Surprizingly good special effects for a low buget film. The sound effect of the brains bleeding after getting shot was a little like someones ill affects after eating a bowl of chilli. Laugh riot! Thanks for the trip back in time hulu.

Okay, so blowing up a nuclear reactor's control building WON'T cause a meltdown in some twisted Hollywood tale. But what do you expect from a movie with mental vampires that look like human brains?

This movie is a classic, from the slow, near Hammer-like buildup to the last 10 minutes with the Air Force blasting stop motion brains. Kim Parker looks great, Marshall Thompson is perfect as the major with all the answers and the atmosphere is terrific. Oh, and the gore level is surprisingly high for a movie of this era.

Giving the term "Destroy the Brain" new meaning, this film deserves its place in the Criterion Collection.

Good if you like stuff from the 50's like me. The special effects are really quite good too.
