_____ 
A different kind of Martian invasion story, reminiscent of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
After NASA lands a space probe on Mars, a scientist involved with the project returns home from a trip with his wife and kids to find their house occupied by a family of exact duplicates. Be forewarned: no happy ending here.
Produced and directed by Maurey Dexter from a screenplay by Harry Spalding (who wrote "Curse of the Fly"). Also starring William Mims, Betty Beall, and Marie Windsor.

| This isn't horrible, but you'd be hard pressed to call it a sci-fi movie until near the end. For most of the film, it feels more like a supernatural or psychological horror movie. |

| I liked the Mars probe scene but there isn't enough sci-fi in the movie to make me happy. It reminds me of an Alfred Hitchcock TV episode (not one specific episode, but that style of storytelling). |
