Saucer Men
The Eye Creatures
Plot synopsis
The movie begins with a top-secret military briefing film which shows the flying saucer (resembling a yo-yo with a dome) hovering as the narrator (an uncredited Peter Graves) describes how the U.S. military's "Project Visitor" has been tracking it, anticipating a landing in the "central United States". Properly briefed, Lt. Robertson reports back to his base near the expected target, where he berates his subordinates for their habit of using their monitoring equipment to spy on teenagers in a local make-out scene in the woods (although he eventually participates in the activity himself). One of the teens sees a mysterious object landing nearby and discusses it in a bar with his friends, including nominal hero Stan Kenyon. Stan and his girlfriend Susan Rogers later accidentally hit one of the creatures and drive off to report the incident to the police. In the sparsely-populated woodland area, they are forced to use the phone of a grumpy codger who resents the "smoochers" in his woods, frequently threatening them with his shotgun.
Meanwhile, one of two drifters (who are seeking ways to make a fast buck) comes across the dead creature and decides to put together an exhibition. When he returns to the site, more of the invaders arrive, causing him to suffer a heart attack and die from shock. When the police finally investigate, they assume that Stan committed a hit-and-run against the hapless drifter, and arrest the young man.
Having overheard the bar conversation about the UFO, Lt. Robertson reports to his skeptical commander, who reluctantly authorizes a cordon around the saucer. They eventually blow up the spaceship and pat themselves on the back for their effective defense, not realizing that the eye creatures had already left their craft and are still roaming the surrounding woods.
Easily escaping the indifferent police, Stan and Susan meet up with the dead drifter's friend, Mike Lawrence, and the three of them attempt to get evidence to prove the danger to the community. In the process, Mike is cornered by the creatures, and Stan and Susan manage to flee only after accidentally discovering the monsters explode when exposed to bright light. Unfortunately, after the autopsy showed that the victim earlier died from a heart attack and that Stan had not killed him, the police are unwilling to have anything more to do with Stan. The teenagers then gather their friends from the make-out park, and together they drive to the clearing where they left Mike. Surrounding it with their cars, they use their headlights to evaporate the remaining creatures. Fortunately, Mike survived his attack, and Stan and Susan resume their interrupted plans to elope, hoping that any future invasion of the creatures will be handled by a "100% certified adult".
Critical review
The Eye Creatures is infamous for its many production errors and goofs. The story takes place during a single night, but movie criticism website Rotten Tomatoes points out that these night scenes include intercut shots from obvious daylight shoots. (This is particularly confusing given the eye creatures' sensitivity to light.) A string can be observed during a scene where a creature's severed hand creeps toward Susan and Stan.
The creature costumes in particular presented problems to the director. There were not enough full costumes for all the creature actors during crowd scenes, so some scenes include creatures with only head appliances, wearing skin-tight black outfits in an attempt to hide their costume deficiencies. In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring the film, Joel Robinson sarcastically suggests that "some eye creatures [] are born with tight acrylic wool-blend turtleneck sweaters from Chess King." In the same episode, Crow T. Robot also mocks, "If you're ever in a fight with an eye creature, keep in mind that his head is simply draped casually over his shoulders and should be no trouble to knock off. [] Get ready to give chase to an injured eye creature; as you can see, he's wearing his Jack Purcell athletic shoes!" Crow even points out a shot featuring a common monster-movie goof: "The eye creatures [] were also unfortunate enough to have evolved with heavy-duty zippers running up their backs." Their riffing produced the fan-favorite phrase "They just didn't care," which has been applied to other movies viewed on the show.
Finally, in keeping with a frequent practice of B-movie re-release retitling, the phrase "Attack of the" was grafted on top of the original in the title screen. Unfortunately, the editor failed to notice that the original already included a "the", producing the amusingly redundant Attack of the the Eye Creatures.
Trivia
Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. (January 2008)
Looney Tunes: Back in Action alluded to the opening of The Eye Creatures when it featured an again-uncredited Peter Graves narrating the Civil Defense briefing video of the Blue Monkey situation in the "Area 52" facility.
Footage of the flying saucer landing was taken from the 1953 sci-fi classic Invaders From Mars.
The film was more or less a remake of a previous low-budget film called Invasion of the Saucer Men that starred a young Frank Gorshin who later gained fame as The Riddler in the Batman TV Series.

If there are aliens out there, do you think they look like green men in flying saucers?
If there are gods out there, do you think they are anything like religions portray them?
They could look anything, really
