wild it certainly great to see Beverly garland back after facing the giant turn up like creature from it conquered the world, what she's missing here is the fun of that bizarre film released the previous year. She's gone from being cynical tough girl to a very friendly nurse, and here her only chances to emote is when she walks around almost in shock after a confrontation with the obvious creature from outer space, here seen in human form with sunglasses hiding eyes that's send men into shock and to their instant death.
Certainly the ugly creature from It conquered the World needed some sort of follow-up, and here there is a miniature version of the same creature, one that like the little bit like creatures that flew out of that monsters behind. This one looks closer does the giant turn up then those weird looking flying creatures from the earlier film. It conquered the world thrives on it's delicious tongue in cheek and the cob sense of humor. However there really is very little to laugh at here, and when the monster does show up, it only makes a very brief appearance which is very disappointing considering what you would expect from Roger Corman. Garland still beautiful, and she does her best to add amusement with her lighthearted performance. The plot line is negligible, mostly talk and innocent bystanders being confronted by the aliens eyes after the sunglasses are removed, so any attempt at fright is more psychological then genuinely horrific.
When Garland is eventually manipulated by her boss who happens to be a creature from outer space in human form, the tension does arise briefly. The scene where the little rubber flying thing does attack a victim is truly frightening. However there seems to be no explanation as to what happened to the cameo of this bizarre looking creature, and everything is wrapped up too quickly and neatly.the performances are all sincere, but the script is too chatty and truly has very little action to move it along. As result it is a slight for and ultimately that makes its a major disappointment.
