Invasion vom Mars (1986)

Invasion vom Mars: Directed by Tobe Hooper. With Karen Black, Hunter Carson, Timothy Bottoms, Laraine Newman. A boy tries to stop aliens who have taken over his town and are attempting to brainwash its inhabitants.

“This is not a movie to be viewed from a serious perspective. But even sci-fi aficionados seem to have been losing their sense of fun over the years, which may be why this remake has been panned so badly. The whole movie is viewed from a young boyu0026#39;s dark imagination, right down to the ridiculous Mr. Potato head aliens. Even the camera angles are taken from childu0026#39;s height. And within the bizarre dream world of adolescent fears and disempowerment springs forth a really fun movie. Within this context, the remake of Invaders from mars remains true to the 1950u0026#39;s genre with some tongue in cheek. Relax, grab some popcorn, and warp back to the 50u0026#39;s, when your imagination didnu0026#39;t have to be fed with a spoon.”
