Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Eye Creatures don't really attack anybody, but are attacked by a band of hostile teenagers. It all begins when the creatures, acting out of self-preservation, try to pin the blame for an accidental killing on an innocent Earthling. Star John Ashley sagaciously retreated to the Philippines shortly after appearing in this one. The Eye Creatures was one of a group of cheap color remakes of earlier American-International productions; all were made to pad out AIP's TV package, and all were produced and directed by Larry Buchanan. This one was a remake of 1957's Invasion of the Saucer Men, minus the earlier film's clever monster designs by the resourceful Paul Blaisdell.
