Title: Extraterrestrial visitors!
Post by: MORTIMER on April 09, 2002, 05:53:03 PM
Hi friends...


Greetings from Spain.


I'd like to know what you think about a Spanish science-fiction film called:
"EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITORS" aka "POD PEOPLE" directed by Juan Piquer.

I'm asking you this because if you read the comments on this film in the IMDB nobody and I mean nobody seems to like it not even a little bit.

I find it quite amusing... what is your opinion??.


So long!...

The reason for the widespread hatred of Pod People is most likely its appearance on one of the all-time best episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, an American TV show in which a cheesy movie is shown in its entirety (for the most part) while a man and two robots provide their own running commentary. Chances are most of the reviewers there have only seen it in this format, as it is exceedingly hard to come by uncut in the US (after searching for years, I finally found a copy, under the title "The Unearthling"). While I too think it's cheesy, it's cheesy in a likable way, and there are actually a few creepy moments (Like when we first see fleeting glimpses of Trumpy).
