Conquistaron el mundo

Un alienígena de Venus (una especie de tienda de campaña andante con expresión sanguinaria), con la ayuda del bondadoso Dr. Anderson (Lee Van Cleef en uno de sus primeros papeles destacados), establece un nuevo orden en la Tierra. Y, sorprendentemente, no es tan malo como podría parecer a primera vista. Los actores son tolerables, los diálogos no son tan aburridos como en películas similares. Las escenas con Dick Miller y Jonathan Haze al menos proporcionan el alivio humorístico que el resto de la película necesita. Me ha gustado bastante y me hace dudar por no darle una calificación más alta. (31.05.2018)

Poster tagline: EVERY MAN ITS PRISONER! EVERY WOMAN ITS SLAVE!!! If we are to believe the words of Roger Corman himself, this film was supposed to be a veiled warning against totalitarianism. But the central dramatic line, which slips into self-parody throughout, is grossly mishandled by the director, and the central monster itself also undermines the intended seriousness. The monster that "conquered the world" looks like an overgrown carrot with pointy teeth and crab-like tentacles that move clumsily up and down like a teddy bear. It has no legs, so it moves like it's riding on hidden wheels, it lives in a cave and spits out little bats that bite into the back of its victims' necks, putting them under its mental control. That sounds fun, but the attacks in question are three in total, and the monster itself only appears for a few seconds in the last ten minutes. In the meantime, the viewer has to endure dull dialogue, a pointless romantic plot and "dramatic" acting by all involved, with star Lee Van Cleef, in particular, probably not putting this job in his resume. But I admit that the showdown with the monster would be a hit on youtube :o) (22.03.2012)
