Joe Dante on The Day Mars Invaded Earth

Moody, atmospheric B picture that recalls the Val Lewton formula of getting the most out of limited means. With one location and only six main characters, it manages to wring quite a bit of creepiness out of its familiar martian doppelganger premise. A nice example of our preferred format here at TFH, black-and-white Cinemascope.
