Quiz
When released on VHS cassette in 1988, the front cover of the box depicts an actor and actress looking up into the sky. These actors are NOT the actors in the film. Also, the starship Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation is seen in the upper right-hand corner of the picture, supposedly representing the spaceship used by the "aliens" who are attacking Earth. As no point during the film are any Star Trek spacecraft seen. In fact, the aliens and their ship(s) are never shown in the film, and their attack is only mentioned by characters in the film.

Blooper
From the start of the movie going forward, the words spoken are mismatched with the captioned words. Words are also left out of the captions, changing the meaning of the sentence.

Curiosità sui crediti
At the beginning of the movie the word "They" is shown in large block letters. No apparent connection to anything, it stays for a bit, then is gone.

Versioni alternative
There are several different versions of this film with different running times and titles circulating on video. The VHS release from Genesis Video under the "Invasion from Inner Earth" title is missing a reel of footage. The VHS from Platinum Productions under the title "Hell Fire" is missing several scenes including the entire ending. The VHS from Regal Home Video under the title "They" is complete and uncut.

One of those obscure "non-movies" from the 1970s

INVASION FROM INNER EARTH is one of those "non-movies" made during the 1970s. A "non-movie" is a film that: A) can be described as regional filmmaking. B) no budget. C) no recognizable actor. D) probably made by students. E) it's a genre movie, usually sci-fi or horror, that's very ambitious (in this case, UFOs and invasions) even if it can barely afford to pay for film stock! F) the soundtrack is a collection of stock music (the main theme was good though). G) was probably released in one or two theaters somewhere in and around where the film was made (hence, the regional aspect of the flick). H) the advertising (or video box cover) is always deceptive. There's no mention in the script that the aliens are from inside the earth, which makes me wonder why did they bothered to give it that title.

There were a lot of "non-movies" made in the 1970s (and in the 1980s, they morphed into the "direct-to-video" category) and IFIE epitomizes these kind of obscure, regional movies few people saw when they were made. The film itself is not very good. There's just no story. And what story there is doesn't make much sense. The dialogue is at times painfully bad. The direction hardly creates any tension. And the ending is inexplicable. But as bad as it is, the film is totally harmless, and in a certain weird way, as some sort of quaint charm to it.
