Invader Movie Review

When one group of soldiers inexplicably massacres another, a reporter for a sleazy tabloid is sent to uncover (or to invent) a story about UFOs and Martians. But he and an army investigator find that there is something to the nutty theory. In some respects, this is a B-movie that could have been made in the ‘50s. It's an imaginative story with a strong streak of humor, often tongue in cheek. At the same time, the script has rough spots, the acting isn't all that it might be, and the special effects aren't consistent. Still, as any fan knows, those come with the territory. The important effects involving a Stealth fighter and stop-motion models are fine.
