EAGGGH .. oh that's another film... well then, KILLERS FROM SPACE elicits the same reaction: and looks like a 70 minute shortened version of THE PHANTOM serial but filmed at the Republic cave sets and studio kitchen corners, but released by RKO. The most shocking and even incomprehensibly startling thing about this LOST PLANET level gibberish is that RKO released it on a double bill with a musical: THE FRENCH LINE...!! For a genuine 'what the...' reaction imagine the crowds flocking to see Jane Russell shake her tuille feather and instead get Peter Graves solemnly saving earth from aliens who look like cinema projectionists in overalls and cummerbunds... and ping pong ball eyes. What a joke! and this in the days when adults went to see THE FRENCH LINE and got this junk first instead. A musical and a kiddie sci fi episode. No wonder the industry died the death of a mangy dog in 1957.
