Invaders From Mars (1986)

Tobe Hooper remade this 50's sci-fi classic about a boy who suspects that aliens may be controlling many of the people in his small town. It's a premise not unlike Invasion of the Body Snatchers only in Hooper's film we see the Martians and they are big Mr. Potato Head's created by Stan Winston that come out of a space ship with an interior lit like a disco club. Don't worry this is definitely a B film that knows its place in the world. It's fun, and for the first 45-minutes, a little bit suspenseful, though never to the level of the original film.
