It Conquered the World (1956)


American International Pictures
Directed by Roger Corman
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
(YouTube)

Scientist Lee Van Cleef communicates with aliens from Venus on a shortwave radio stashed in a living room closet. He provides them with the names of other scientists, military leaders and politicians that they take control of by sending out flying bats to implant radio devices in their necks. Peter Graves is a friend and fellow scientist who resists, but also must take care of his bitten friends, including his wife, with a gun. Talky and at times violent, but never credible, including one of the most laughable monsters in film history: sort of a walking ice cream cone with teeth.
