This movie has all the elements of today: aliens, race
purge, propaganda, scientists vs DoD, grasshoppers
(plague),and a mass of
insane citizens
running wild.

This came up recently here in another thread. I enjoy finding old public domain and/or American and British B movies and watching them. I didn’t know there more of the Quatermass films. I’ll check this one out too. Thank you for the tip.

I recall this movie as “Five Million Years To Earth”. My experience watching it as a youngin was terrifying.

If memory serves it’s also known as 5 Million Years to Earth...

This is an excellent movie that I remember watching as a child.

It stuck with me. I was able to see it twice, as it revolved back on my local television station, over the years.

Saw this as a child in the early seventies. It definitely left an impression. I never could remember the name and gave up looking for it. THANK YOU!!!

They built up a lot of suspense, as well as used acting, instead of dialogue, to explain many things. Worthy of being seen in Blu Ray.

Best seen when having crab legs for dinner, and drinking grasshopper cocktails.
