I watched this at a drive-in back in the 70s. It was wildly inappropriate for a kid my age (about 6 years old). It scared me but not because of the aliens, but because of how weird the movie was. I only saw people kissing and their throats bulging so the alien infection could go from one to the other. Imagine how I felt when the first Girl wanted to kiss me later in life...
Anyway, I didn't understand what was going on at the time. I was too young to comprehend everything so I re-watched this again a few years later and I have to say, I still don't know what's going on LOL!
It didn't' age well. It's about this guy who infects a teenage girl with alien parasites, who he kills (and shows her bare chest) and allows things to slither about in an apartment complex. Once someone is infected, they want to have sex which is apparently how it's transmitted. I saw one of the first woman on woman kisses of my life when I was six so there's that.
It's kind of dumb, poorly acted and written and a lot of people have given it high marks. It's a predecessor of other movies like Alien, even though they were both made in the same decade, this movie served as sort of a template making it important, even if it's dated.
You should watch it, only if you're an adult who doesn't mind nudity and a very dated 70s movie that's not that great.
