Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

KILLERS FROM SPACE is a typically cheap and cheerful science fiction B-movie of the 1950s, notable for featuring MISSION IMPOSSIBLE actor Peter Graves in an early role. It's best known as the movie that features a bunch of goofy aliens hanging around in a cavern who possess these crazy ping-pong ball eyes which look absolutely ridiculous, so it was a hoot for me every time they appear on screen. The film's plot is lightweight and everything's rather cheap and silly, but Graves certainly seems commited to his performance which helps things a bit, and you have to love those aliens. It's no INVADERS FROM MARS, but you could do worse.

Atomic scientist/pilot Doug Martin is missing after his plane crashes on an reconnaissance mission after a nuclear test. Miraculously appearing unhurt at the base later, he is given sodium amethol, but authorities are skeptical of his story that he was captured by aliens determined to conquer the Earth with giant monsters and insects. Martin vows to use existing technology to destroy them.Mission Impossible!This is one of those 50s sci fi flicks that will bore the pants off you.And not in a good way.It was so cheaply made the sound echos when they are indoors. The aliens are bug eyed and then they throw in cheap stock footage of bugs being burnt

Killers from Space (1954) 1/2 (out of 4) Peter Graves plays a scientist overlooking atomic tests when he is killed. His friends and family are shocked when he returns to them and it turns out that aliens have brought him back to life so that he can spy for them. KILLERS FROM SPACE is without question one of the worst and dumbest films to come from the drive-in era of the science fiction craze. There's really no brain to be found anywhere in this picture but thankfully it's bad enough in spots to where you can actually laugh at what you're watching. There are several awfully funny moments including a large scar on the chest of Graves, which was apparently put there by the aliens. Throughout the film you'll notice that this scar is sometimes there and sometimes not. Another hilarious thing is the ending, which includes a man pulling on gun on Graves and just wait till you see how easy it is for him to get a gun. This is followed by another very funny scene where a man tries to get the gun from Graves but fails. The look of the aliens is also something so silly that it will keep you entertained in them. They basically have ping pong balls glued to their faces and used as eyes. It's too bad these creations weren't used in THE COSMIC MAN since that film had alien John Carradine landing on Earth in a ping pong ball spaceship. The performances are also pretty bad, including Graves who clearly wasn't an actor yet. The film has some very bad special effects including a sequence where Graves keeps running into giant insects and lizards that the aliens have created. KILLERS FROM SPACE is a really bad movie but it's cult following is deserved due to how bad it is.

I know this is a very bad movie, but there is one thing i like about. It has almost all the elements of what would become the "classic" alien abduction account. This predates the Boas event by 4 years and predates the more famous Betty and Barney Hill abduction account by 7 years. :Spoilers:The movie starts with stock footage of an atomic bomb test. We see Peter grave fly around it to examine the effects. He sees a bright light on the ground and crashes. later he is found and does not remember anything that happened to him. Later he tells people about how he survived the jet crash. He was saved by an alien race who try to invade the earth with giant bugs, reptiles, and insects. In the end they are blown up by Peter. However he was shown that there are still billions of them in space stations and saucers in space waiting for earth to be ready. But for some reason no one saw that the aliens might have a plan B.I say just skip this one.
