Day 190 of the challenge! Invaders from Mars (the 86 version) can't hold a candle to the original classic.
Liked:
Starts off strong enough. The paranoia you feel from seeing everything from David's perceptive is great.
Gotta love old school Stan Winston practical effects, even when they (rarely) don't work.
Didn't like:
- David becomes annoying fast. The kid has an answer for everything, making all the adult useless. Works great if you're watching this as a child I suppose, but it just grates me.
- Anytime it gets close to feeling scary or tense after the first act, it trips over itself and crashes.
