Always enjoyed this oneSolid alien colonization film. Pretty well thought out and entertaining. Especially for being a rather low budget affair. Always liked this one..Score: 5/5

Better than thatThe original book by Heinlein was pretty good. Excellent in places, and painful in others. The movie captures the book reasonably well. Pretty good in spots and painful in others. It's not great, but it's definitely not a 1-star affair by any means..Score: 3/5

One word. S T U P I DMakes no d@m sence.Score: 1/5

Surprised at the bad reviews?This was a pretty solid adaptation of a well-written and suspensful Heinlein story. This is not a big budget, bloe-'em-up or slasher film, it is a suspense story of what happens when a race as smart as we are (but uniquely different) attempts to colonize us. True, the protagonist's love interest is not a major part of the story, but this is still a solid science-fiction story no less interesting (and far more plausible) than most, including a similar movie Arrival. Not bad, keeps your interest and there is nothing offensive to younger audiences (probably why the Tomatoes did not like it. I'll give it 4 stars to offset the 1 star review. 1 star ... really?? Hormone-driven teenagers with ADD should not be allowed to review movies! Do you really take "This was the BEST MOVIE EVER" reviews seriously? Then you should prpbably ignore their antithesis. : ) Highly recommended for sci-fi purists and especially persons raised on the early 20th century science-fiction where the term SCIENCE was appropriate!.Score: 4/5

Für Spezialagent Andrew Nivens und sein Team war es nur Routine – schon wieder eine Meldung, daß irgendwo in einer Kleinstadt ein UFO gelandet ist. Zuerst wirkt alles wie ein Kinderscherz, doch dann… Wie eine Epidemie vermehrt und verbreitet sich das außerirdische Wesen in den Körpern der Menschen. Niemand ist mehr sicher, denn diese fremde Intelligenz will nur eines, die Weltmacht. Nivens muß schnell einen Weg finden, das Wesen zu vernichten, bevor es zu spät ist.

Français
Sam Nivens, jeune agent du gouvernement, est envoye en mission a Ambrose, une bourgade perdue au fond de l'Iowa. Il ignore encore pourquoi son pere, le puissant directeur de l'Office of Scientific Intelligence, s'est egalement deplace avec Mary Sefton, une brillante scientifique de la Nasa experte en intelligence extraterrestre.

Italiano
Una nave spaziale aliena atterra in una piccola località dell'Ohio. Inviati dalla Nasa e dall'Office for Scientific Intelligence, gli scienziati Mary, Andrew e il figlio di quest'ultimo, Sam, accorrono. Ma l'organismo extraterrestre è già uscito dall'astronave.

Português
Donald Sutherland lidera uma equipe de agentes do govêrno de alto nível, que fez uma chocante descoberta: estranhos extraterrestres invadem a terra e rapidamente estão controlando a população de uma pequena cidade do interior, manipulando seus corpos e mentes como fantoches! As criaturas se multiplicam de forma assustadora, e qualquer um pode ser invadido. Sem poder confiar em ninguém, os agentes precisam de alguma maneira deter e eliminar os aparentemente indestrutíveis aliens, antes que todo o país seja dominado!

Español
Los alienígenas han llegado a la Tierra, empezando a controlar a los humanos de un pequeño pueblo de Iowa. El método es controlar y manipular el cuerpo y la mente de los habitantes como si fueran marionetas. El encargado de acabar con esas maléficas intenciones es Andrew Nivens, un agente de seguridad americano que, con un equipo altamente cualificado, intentará evitar que los alienígenas se apoderen de todo el planeta.

Pусский
По местному телеканалу одного небольшого городка в США проходит сообщение о том, что в окрестностях города совершил посадку НЛО. Спустя некоторое время тот же телеканал опровергает высказанную ранее информацию, представляя её как выдумку местных мальчишек. Тем не менее, сотрудники секретной службы направляются туда для проверки сообщения и обнаруживают плохо скроенный макет космической тарелки. Чрезмерная любезность и гостеприимство местных жителей заставляют их задуматься о том, что же случилось на самом деле. Уверенность приходит в тот момент, когда на спине одного из жителей городка они обнаруживают странного вида паразита явно неземного происхождения. Предотвратить беду не получится - число людей, заражённых пришельцами, увеличивается не по дням, а по часам.

Magyar
Az Ambrose nevű kisváros közelében különös jelenséget észlelnek. Hamarosan kiderül, hogy földönkivüli élősködők érkeztek a városba, mégpedig nem békés szándékkal. Senki sincs biztonságban, hiszen ez nem csak futó látogatás. A város lakói közül egyre többen kezdenek furcsán viselkedni, mintha valami szörnyű bábuként irányítaná őket. A földlakók kis csapata egy NASA-kutató vezetésével a lehetetlenre vállakozik: megmenteni a Földet egy totális inváziótól.

W pobliżu prowincjonalnego miasta ląduje pojazd kosmiczny. Grupa naukowców przybywa na miejsce wypadku i przekonuje się, że wszyscy mieszkańcy są pod kontrolą kosmitów. Rozpoczynają się poszukiwania ich bazy wypadowej, której jednak nie sposób odnaleźć.

Český
Nikdo zpočátku netušil, jak hrozivé nebezpečí přilétlo spolu s opuštěným kosmickým tělesem, které jednoho dne hlučně dosedlo v blízkosti poklidného provinčního městečka Ambrose. Podnikaví mladíci mají výhodnou turistickou atrakci, místní televizní stanice atraktivní senzaci a agenti NASA pro mimozemské civilizace, plné ruce práce. Pokouší se odhalit původ a úmysly záludných vetřelců, kteří se dokážou přisát na člověka, proniknout do jeho mozku a zcela ho ovládnout jako bezmocnou loutku, mechanicky plnící jakékoli uložené příkazy. Ani zkušený vládní veterán Andrew Nivers a jeho profesionální tým nedokážou zcela uniknout vlivu temných parazitů, kteří se rozhodli, že si zde, s pomocí svých nedobrovolných hostitelů, vybudují nový domov. Jejich lavinovitá technika množení a ofenzivní napojení na pasivní „lidské nosiče“ slaví úspěch...

A Terra é invadida por parasitas alienígenas, conhecidos como "lesmas", que andam nas costas das pessoas e controlam suas mentes. Um trio de agentes do governo americano tenta frustrar isso.

한국어/조선말
무시무시한 외계의 괴물이 지구로 날아들었다. 이 끔찍한 에어리언은 기생충처럼 인간의 몸에 파고드는데, 등골속에서 기생하며 촉수를 뇌로 뻗어 인간의 지식과 기억을 조정하고, 마음과 의식까지도 지배하게 된다. 이 무서운 괴물 앞에서는 그 누구도 안전할수 없으며, 피할 방법조차 없다. 에어리언의 목표는 지구를 차지하고 인류를 지배하는 것이다. 미국 아이오와의 엠브로즈라는 작은 마을에 무언가 괴상한 것이 착륙했다는 보도가 접수되자, 정부의 과학정보부는 급히 요원을 현지에 파견한다. 앤드류 니벤스(Andrew Nivens: 도날드 서덜랜드 분)와 그의 아들 샘(Sam Nivens: 에릭 탈 분) 그리고 연방우주국의 과학자 메리 세프턴(Mary Sefton: 쥴리 워너 분)이 한 팀이 되어 달려와 보니, 상황은 이미 끔찍한 상태였다. 이를 막기 위한 길은 에이리언의 교묘한 침투를 피하면서, 동시에 인간의 몸속에 숨어 있는 에이리언을 처치하는 것이다. 그러나 무시무시한 외계인과 싸우는 세 사람은 서로 견해 차이를 보이기 시작한다. 아버지 앤드류 니벤즈는 에이리언을 퇴치하기 위해 감염된 사람을 모두 죽여야 한다는 강경파로, 무자비한 행동을 시작한다. 반면에 그의 아들 샘은 이를 알면서도 선뜻 내키지 않아 망설이게 된다. 이 둘 사이에 끼어 있는 메리 세프턴은 어떤 위험과 희생을 감수하고 라도 이 작전을 수행해야 하는 줄 알지만, 샘에게 동정과 사랑을 느끼는데...

Ze worden bijgestaan door Mary Sefton, een specialiste in buitenaardse biologie van de NASA. De buitenaardse wezens, een soort slakken die zich vasthechten aan de rug van de mens, blijken systematisch de gedachtewereld van de mens over te nemen, met de bedoeling de aarde te koloniseren.

По місцевому каналу новин одного невеликого містечка США проходить повідомлення про те, що в околицях містечка вчинив посадку НЛО. Через деякий час той же канал спростовує виказану раніше інформацію, представляючи її як вигадку місцевих хлопчиськ. Проте, співробітники секретної служби прямують туди для перевірки повідомлення і знаходять погано скроєний макет космічної «тарілки». Надмірна люб'язність і гостинність місцевих мешканців примушує їх задуматися про те, що ж трапилося насправді.

Exercising their overwhelming feelings of superiority, the two students decide to kill a young boy. Rather than repenting for their crime, Steiner and Straus then set out to further the experiment by lending aid to the authorities. Inevitably, the duo is captured and prosecuted for the murder. Defense attorney Jonathan Wilk steps in and attempts to save the boys from execution, despite never receiving any explanation from the young culprits of their crime.
