It Conquered the World1956

Horror Vault's take

A Venusian invader descends on Earth with a cunning plan to dominate humanity — and it finds a willing accomplice in a bitter, idealistic scientist who believes the alien's promises. As the creature's influence spreads through a small community, two couples find themselves caught in a desperate struggle between reason, loyalty, and survival. Roger Corman's low-budget 1956 chiller delivers Cold War paranoia wrapped in gloriously earnest creature-feature packaging. The alien itself has become one of genre cinema's most memorably odd monster designs.
