Reel Retro – Killers from Space

Dakota Media Access 12 — Sat, 29 May 2010 18:33:31 +0000

From 1954, Killers from Space is a bad movie according to co-hosts Anita Casey-Reed and Jackson Bird. They both agree, however, that it is a fun movie to watch. There are lots of stock footage and a lack of special effects in this low budget film.

In this movie, aliens come to Earth and they want our atomic energy. A young Peter Graves stars and W. Lee Wilder directs.
