Wolff rating: EVIL
Plot summary: Silly putty from outer space controls children's minds and points out the folly of nuclear weapons.
Biased, pithy comments: It was long, it was boring, it was predictable, it was depressing. Watch for Russell Johnson (The Professor from ``Gilligan's Island'') as the only character with any flare---a mean, child-beating, wife-beating drunk. Whee. Rather preachy. Don't watch without Mike and the 'bots.
Other Notes: \MST. Also contains Jackie Coogan, Uncle Fester from ``The Addams Family'', in tight shorts, a sight you try not to see.
How many times I have seen it: x1
