Wissenswertes
The interior of the Brewster trailer - Unit #3 - is the set that had been built for the MGM movie Villa mit 100 PS (1954). The exterior of the trailer however is not the same New Moon model.

Patzer
Whenever the 'lightning' effect occurs as the holy blob uses his power, the shadows of both objects and people show up on the 'sky' and background elements revealing them to be back-drops in a studio.

Zitate
Bud Brewster: We found something that fell out of the sky this afternoon. We know where it is.
Anne Brewster: The sky?
Ken Brewster: Bud's telling the truth. I saw it too. It fell out of the sky. Well, you've got to believe him!

B science fiction with a message!

The children of some US rocket scientists come under the spell of a strange alien being that seems to want them to sabotage the nations defense!

Another B thriller from director Jack Arnold (who directed the classic Creature from the Black Lagoon in 1954), this one is a bit more intelligent than the average drive-in sci-fi fodder. The Space Children is actually an anti-war film kind of in the tradition of The Twilight Zone, the story does indeed resemble a story that one would see on the classic TV series. Arnold lends some steady direction, creating an occasionally eerie atmosphere (who could ever forget that spooky final image of an ill-fated Russell Johnson?) and a decent alien creation. Kudos go to a chilling music score.

The cast isn't half bad, the youths of the film being especially good.

A worth-wild watch for those who like the films of this era.

** 1/2 out of ****
