TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE (1959)

Tagline: Thrill-crazed space kids blasting the flesh off humans!

(Sci-Fi,  Thriller, Lobster) [G]

Note – This movie was not given a rating by the MPAA, but if it had come out today, we’d probably be looking at a G.

There's more to it than that, Joe. There's something behind this... something we don't understand. The weapon he uses, it's unheard of. Blasting flesh right off the bones.

Oh man, holy buttermilk biscuits this thing is just a lot of fun. Contrary to the graphic this one is in black and white and is about a spaceship that lands with some aliens on it. Of course, the plan is simple, they want to use earth as a breeding ground to feed giant lobsters from their planet. Yes, you read that right. It doesn’t take long before they start killing as many people as they can and even a dog. Because aliens have no idea how cool dogs are.

Effects-wise, it looks like they used the same skeleton over and over to depict the “blasting the flesh off humans” portion of the film. This movie is about as “un-gross” as it gets, but in pure 50’s fashion, this thing is just loaded with everything from brilliant acting to acting so bad it looks like they were just grabbing neighbors to play the extras.

Anyway one of the teenage aliens (who all actually look at least in their late 20s) decides to leave the rest of his group to warn them that his colleague aliens are freakin crazy. Of course, he meets this girl who immediately falls for him. The pair run all over town trying to get away from the teenage aliens and we later find out why they didn't just kill the traitor telling the humans to run right away.

This film seems to be streaming everywhere for free, but you can get it for almost nothing I am pretty sure if you would rather have a physical copy. If you are looking for something just ridiculous I highly recommend taking 72 minutes to check this thing out. If you can’t find enough humor and fun just in the movie itself it was also featured in one of the best episodes of Mystery Science Theaters 3000. The main actress in this movie Dawn Bender retired as a school teacher. Imagine being able to tell your students you starred in something this crazy.

I was honestly expecting them to say “Red Lobster, we see food differently” at the end of this one.

I give this movie a 4 out of 7.
