Agreed.
That movie scared the heck out of 8-year-old me when I saw it many moons ago.
I think I was about the same age when I saw it and the ending was enough to give me nightmares for a month! We would sleep with the windows open so the scene with the curtains blowing in wind before the saucer landed gave me the creeps!
Yeah, had nightmares about getting that thing drilled into the back of my head............
