Jun 8, 2012Alien Invasion/H.G. Wells Adaptation
First and best adaptation of the book, this takes liberties with the H.G. Wells original but smartly updates the book's underlying anxieties to the Cold War era (in so doing becoming the grandaddy of the 1950s alien invader film) and providing what was top notch effects spectacle for the era
