Product Description
From Amazon.com
In this pulp science-fiction film, a flying saucer full of aliens of a "Superior Race" lands on Earth, searching for grazing grounds for their Gargon cattle. One of the aliens uses a ray gun to kill a curious dog ("They blast the flesh off humans!"). Rebellious Derek inspects Sparky's dog tag and realizes that civilized beings inhabit the planet. He begs his companions to consider the rights of the people of Earth, but the other crewmen turn on him. They leave one of the lobster-like Gargon chained inside of a cave, make responsible Thor hunt down the escaping Derek, and return to their home planet to fetch herds of Gargon.
While Derek befriends Betty, Gramps, and Joe in the nearest suburban utopia, Thor's relentless manhunt results in numerous blasted skeletons and abductions. The fun really gets going when the now gigantic Gargon escapes its chains and goes on a murderous rampage. Spunky Betty begins a romance with Derek, who promises to make Earth his home. Reporter Joe is hot on the trail of the double-murder story that grows into something really big. Teenagers from Outer Space sports primitive special effects and almost-bad acting, but really they just add to the angsty fun of this 1959 flick.

Incredibly idiotic and incredibly funny!,
By
This review is from: Teenagers from Outer Space (DVD)
Don't let the rating fool you. This may be one of the worst movies ever made, but it is also, unquestionably, one of the funniest! In this ridiculous sci-fi horror flick, everything is atrocious: the script, the acting, not to mention the special effects. Who could forget the film's "monster" being nothing more than a siloutte of a lobster! One of my favorite effects are the flesh tearing ray guns the aliens use and leave nothing but the victim's skeleton (in one scene the editing is so bad that you can actually see the metal screws holding the prop together!) Fans of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", "Attack of the 50 Foot Tall Woman", "Eegah", and "The Creeping Terror" will get a kick out of this film. It is a staple at "All Time Worst Movies" conventions. Don't hesitate to rent this one. It is a riot!

Better treated as a MST 3K episode,
By MaynardG "maynardg" (Westminster, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teenagers from Outer Space (DVD)
While this movie can stand on its own, it simply begs for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment, and it got one. I believe this was the funniest MST-3K'd movie ever, I mean eye-squirting funny. The voice-over for Grandpa alone is worth the price. You'd perhaps be better served finding this one on the MST-3K collections that are also coming out on DVD.

Good Solid Science Fiction Camp,
By
This review is from: Teenagers from Outer Space (DVD)
Teenagers from Outer Space does not pretend to be anything more than what it is: science fiction camp with a sense of humour. In this respect, the film actually works and as a consequence is rather entertaining.In fact, the premise of the film is actually plausible. If there was such an alien race from outer space, why wouldn't they see earth as a potential grazing ground for their monstrous cattle, and why would they necessarily see any value to human life apart from any other life form. However, the film recognizes its low budget, and instead has a lot of camp fun playing out the scenario of good alien and bad alien. We have good alien Derek, who admires humanity and ends up not only falling in love with an earthling, but wanting to make his permanent home on earth. Then you have the bad alien, Thor, who enjoys shooting humans like hunters shooting ducks out of the sky. In fact, in a morbid kind of way, it is actually humorous in seeing him zap anything he can into a cheap looking skeleton. If you like the corny camp science fiction films of the 1950's, you'll enjoy Teenagers from Outer Space.
