Invaders from Mars is one of the most influential films ever made. Its use of color was unlike anything of its time and the camerawork sets it apart from the many other alien invasion movies of the 1950s. Many directors were influenced by the movie, with Tobe Hooper remaking the film in 1986.
Ignite Films is releasing a 4K restoration of the film. Based on the new trailer, the style and design that made the film stand out in 1953 look stunning in the restored version. And though the genre has evolved greatly over the past few decades, Invaders from Mars still looks like an entertaining watch.
How well do the special effects hold up in 2022? Obviously, it has to be judged with different eyes as even a restoration cannot change the fact it was first released almost seventy years ago. But the initial glance is a promising one.
The 4K restoration of Invaders from Mars comes to Blu-Ray and 4K UHD September 26
