I've seen They Came From Beyond Space a couple of times now and found it quite enjoyable.
Some strange objects from outer space land on a farm in Cornwall. These are at first thought to be meteors but is confirmed they are not when some of the locals smash them. Inside, there is an alien force that takes over their minds and gradually, more people get taken over by these aliens, which come from the Moon. A doctor investigating this avoids being taken over as he has a metal plate in his head as the result of injuries from a car crash. He sneaks in the farm after watching a rocket take off and takes his girlfriend, who has been taken over with him and uses her to see if the way he and a fellow doctor have come up with to destroy the aliens works. It does and the girl is back to normal. They head back to the farm and manage to get onto a rocket and end up on the Moon, where he meets the leader and finds out what exactly what the aliens intend to do to Earth.
They Came From Beyond Space is fairly creepy in parts, helped by the music score.
Now to the cast, which includes several sci-fi/horror regulars: Robert Hutton (The Slime People, Invisible Invaders), Michael Gough (Konga, Horrors of the Black Museum), Jennifer Jayne (The Crawling Eye), Zia Mohyeddin, Benard Kay (Toture Garden) and Maurice Good (Quatermass and the Pit).
This movie is worth watching if you get the chance. Very enjoyable.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
