The PG rating does hurt this one, and although the TV show of the same name shares the same rating, you kind of expect it more from TV than film, which has the remit to push things a little further. The run-time is also extended so it does lag a little vs. the 50 min 'leaner' episodes. However, the story itself is told well with some genuine suspense, plus the always lovely Judy Geeson is certainly a welcome addition to the proceedings.
64/100

I think i like
Doomwatch more than you, b_e.
I presume you have the surviving box set of tv episodes from what you say above.
The tv episode
Invasion filmed up at Grassington would have made an excellent movie, more so than the eco horror that we got. Also they should have stuck with the tv cast. Simon Oates could have done just as good a job as Bannen in my opinion.
