It Came From Outer Space by the DVD Man

It Came From Outer Space is a more sophisticated 50's SciFi movie than most, mainly because the story was written by Ray Bradbury.

It's about an alien ship that took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up crashing on Earth. All they want to do is fix the ship and take off. They just have to take over a few local folks to carry some tools and spare parts because they are a Giant Eyeball clouded in fog and that makes it hard to drive a truck.

The high point for me was the line: "Hiya, Frank". Frank the telephone lineman and victim of the Xenomorphs. We have real Frank, maybe dead Frank and zombie Frank. Plenty of Franks.

Richard Carlson plays the writer/amateur astronomer who sees more than everyone else and Barbara Rush plays his girlfriend. Barbara won a Golden Globe for best newcomer and she's got 3 really great screams.

There is excellent music and lots of fun Theremin sound effects - Click here to hear a Theremin sample.

No chickens, but some vultures and a tumbleweed. It was originally shown in 3D and there are some nice extras.

The Theremin wav file is the following sound files from Freesound (http://www.freesound.org): thereminecho.wav
