Warning from Space A.K.A. Mysterious Satellite (1956)

A Japanese science fiction directed by Koji Shima.
Aliens come to Earth to warn humans not to use a nuclear super-weapon. WAIT! They came to warn us about a planet that is about to collide with the Earth and we need to use that nuclear super-weapon (for which they have conveniently destroyed the plans) to stop the impending collision.
The plot was muddy and characters hard to keep track of. The production value was terrible, with washed out yellowish video and annoying distorted audio that included a high pitched shrieking screeching sound whenever the aliens were around. Obviously, nothing good can be said for style. Pacing and timing was spot-on, although it counts for very little. I'm going to have to rate this shit because of the raspy, metallic screaming noise generated by the aliens. This film should come with a strong and blatant warning of it's own not to watch it.
