The inhabitants of a small Illinois town begin disappearing after a strange cone is found sticking out of the ground nearby.
- Mister ArnJuly 5, 2026"The Brain Eaters" is a low-budget 1950s sci-fi film that's less about monsters than it is about conformity and the loss of individuality. Similar in spirit to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", it uses a simple alien invasion story to make its point. The effects are modest, but it's short, entertaining, and surprisingly effective. Not a great movie, but a fun one for fans of classic B-movie science fiction.
