They Came from Beyond Space

Conquerors from a Dying World Invade Earth!

Directed by Freddie Francis

Produced by Amicus Productions

A mid-century sci-fi invasion tale that blends paranoia and possession with a morally ambiguous twist, where the aliens may not be the villains they initially appear.

When meteors in a curious V-formation crash on a Cornwall field, an alien force possesses several scientists and infects bystanders with a deadly disease. Shielded from the meteor's influence by a metal plate in his head, Dr Curtis Temple discovers that an alien race on the moon seeks to use the manipulated geniuses for seemingly nefarious purposes. But, as he learns more about the invaders, they may not be as evil as initially thought.
