Yes, it's another incompetently made movie known mainly for its appearance on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". "The Eye Creatures" (aka "Attack of the Eye Creatures") depicts an invasion by aliens that look like bubble wrap covered in rancid cottage cheese. The way that their mouths hang open, they should be called mouth creatures. No surprise then, that Joel and the 'bots have fun with it, mentioning Mariah Carey, Phil Silvers, and others. During one of the interludes, they dress as Rip Taylor and present the eye creatures' sunglasses, sun visors, etc. Finally, they show some goofs that appeared throughout the movie and remind the audience that the people making the movie JUST DIDN'T CARE! Attack of the THE EYE CREATURES. Someone really screwed up on that one, didn't they, Roy Cohn? PS: John Ashley also appeared in "Hud" and associate produced "Apocalypse Now".

First of all,this is a remake of Invasion of the Saucer Men,but this movie isn't near as good as that one.Why? Lousy script.Bad "special" effects and last,you can SEE that some of the Eye Creatures only have the headpiece on and that's it! Some are wearing black shirt and pants and tennis shoes.Plus,it goes from day to night and back again in one shot! The so-called "night" shots look as though they were filmed in the afternoon.And let's not forget the title either.The original title was The Eye Creatures,but I think when it was re-released,some idiot decided to add "Attack of the" on the front to make it "Attack of the the Eye Creatures"..I've seen this by way of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and believe me,that's the only way to view this.Not unless you like movies that move slowly..Bad? Yes.Fun to watch on a rainy night? Maybe.As bad as "Plan 9"??? You be the judge..Have fun!!

Okay, here we go again. Another huge loser from Larry Buchanan. First of all, I doubt for one minute that the army would allow their expensive equipment to be used the way they did. Just to get their rocks off. Secondly, the old man who thinks he owns the whole freakin' mountain. The creatures themselves was kind of cool. But if all can afford is one eye creature, then show only one eye creature. Keep the others behind the bushes like they were suppose to stay. The crawling hand was just awful, you can see the rest of the arm in the light. I was thinking Larry Buchanan did it again by ripping off an older movie INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN, but I did some research and he just based it on the same book THE COSMIC FRAMED which would explain all the similarities. But that doesn't explain the costume goofs, the character issues and the plan cheapness of the flick. I give THE EYE CREATURES....A HALF A STAR.

If you ever have to see this movie, see it with Joel and the bots. Otherwise it will suck the will to live from your body like a black hole made of sheer incompetence. The whole thing is supposed to take place at night, despite the fact that most of it appears to have been filmed on a bright, sunny day. In fact, night and day interchange randomly through the entire movie as though the director wasn't sure of the difference between them. (Example: couple driving in darkness stops their car, the camera switches, and suddenly they're stepping out of their car in broad daylight.) The characters are all either vague, ridiculous or aliens. Whatever they tell you on the summary, there is definitely no plot. The action is morbidly slow and confusing, much like the aliens themselves. The actual title of the movie according to the opening credits is "Attack of the the Eye Creatures." Many of the aliens appear to be wearing sneakers and black backstage garb, but if you can see through the terrible cinematography to notice that, then you've probably seen "Eye Creatures" enough that you don't need to read this piece anyway.
