A British science fiction directed by Freddie Francis, starring Robert Hutton and Jennifer Jayne.
A meteor falls to Earth and those who get near it have their minds taken over by aliens. One man is immune due to a metal plate in his head. After much conflict, he kidnaps one of the mind control victims and enlists the help of a friend to stop the aliens.
Very British, dry and pointless. The plot seemed to be going alright initially, but it got bogged down towards the middle and the anticlimactic ending finished the process of plot disintegration. The characters were difficult to keep track of because there were lots of extras and everyone had similar hairstyles and clothing. The sountrack seemed inappropriate with it's jazzy saxophones everywhere and snare drum rolls during action scenes. Obviously, I don't think that the style was good and the pacing was just weird. I rate this poor because it's just more '70s trash. I wouldn't recommend watching it.
