Join us for a deep dive into H.G. Wells War of the Worlds from 1953. This might just be the alien invasion film that all other alien invasion films aspire to be. A tale of invasion and ultimate triumph by the smallest of things on this planet. The 1953 version puts a religious spin on the events of the novel. Which was decidedly against religion.
From filming models, to cobras, to Woody Woodpecker. Patrick and Lauren join the martians in their slow, oh so slow, destruction of the human race. Thankfully there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And L.A. is saved! (oh and the world)
The true prototype for the modern alien movie.
