One of the great SF movies that is never given enough credit.

[@joemadden4160]

Not only a fine DP and director but he has an exceptional taste in movies.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Having the story told from a child's point of view made it much more effective.

[@ExecuMutant]

It was the sand swallowing people and then sealing back up that stuck in my mind all these years.

[@thechrisandmikeshow]

Looks like a fantastic restoration...also appreciated the behind-the-scenes info from Ernest Dickerson.

[@badmariamedia]

That little drill at the base of the skull freaked me out as a kid.

[@joemadden4160]

The score and sound design of this film is what made the indelible impression on me as a kid. The last scene where everybody is running...nightmare fuel.

[@dockaos924]

The controling Martian always spooks me a bit when I watch this movie

[@jimghee6021]

This movie scared the bejesus out of me when I watched it as a lad. It was beyond creepy. The best of it's kind. Glad to see it's getting restored and enhanced.

[@RX552VBK]

Same here! I even remember seeing it for the first time. I was 7 or 8, during the early 70s--it came Chiller Theater on a Saturday midnight on WPIX ch. 11 in NYC. The way the Martians would come up underground and how they stuck that antenna in the back of your neck---man, I didn't sleep well for days!

[@marshallross3373]

A 4K refresh is just what this film needed. Actually, I've never seen it before, so I have no idea if it's any good. But, films like this are at the very least a time capsule with a window into the psyche of our culture decades ago. That's gotta be worth something.

[@RX552VBK]

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT??? Well, you're in for a real treat--one of the most interesting and nightmarish 50s SF ever.

[@ignitefilms4931]

We can corroborate: This is a great movie and it's never looked better

✨✨✨✨Just ordered can't wait

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

It looks fantastic. A great way to preserve this film. Always will be one of my favorites.

[@roryscott2941]

That was awesome! Can't wait to see it. I wish the XCOM prequel was more like that than shooter we got

[@RX552VBK]

Oh man, I can't wait!!!

[@pschroeter1]

I remember the green guys lumbering around oddly with a gadget that looked like the end of a fire hose that instantly cut tunnels. This is a great movie that, yet somehow manages to keep off my list of favorite old scifi though no fault of it's own. I'm wondering if it doesn't get shown very much.

[@ignitefilms4931]

We're about to put out a brand new beautiful 4K: www.ignite-films.com/

[@wildman2012]

Back in the day, you would probably only see a new trailer when you went to the movies to see something else.

[@coyotefever105]

I saw a trailer for this movie at the end of my VHS copy of Godzilla King of the Monsters

[@joemadden4160]

Just ordered my copy. $80 Canadian, but it's worth it.

[@ignitefilms4931]

Thank you so much! We're excited for you to get your hands on it

[@inactiveuser1981]

Great movie, looking great as never before, sweet to see Ernest Dickerson doing the introduction! :) Say, does anyone know what song was used in the trailer?

[@ignitefilms4931]

That was a song by Andy Huckvale written specifically for this trailer

[@inactiveuser1981]

@@ignitefilms4931 I hope it will be released, this track because is awesome!:)

[@justaguy6100]

Ok what's next, remaking Day of the Triffids? They already did Village of the Damned. When I was a gradeschooler coming home at 3:30 in the afternoon, there was ONE of our local stations that had an amazing director of movie archiving. They scared the daylights out of me with movies like these, gloriously schlocky movies from the 50's about giant crabs or spiders mutated by atomic radiation, or invading space creatures, or the worst, the aftermath of widespread atomic radiation. I love these old movies now.

[@ignitefilms4931]

This isn't a remake, this is a restoration, coming to 4K September 26th: ignite-films.com

[@justaguy6100]

@@ignitefilms4931 OH great. Maybe there's hope for Day of the Triffids again too ;-)

[@RX552VBK]

@@justaguy6100 I'd love to see a 4K restoration of Day of the Triffids! That'd be fantastic!

[@zaroffhound]

Tobe Hooper did a remake back in the day. Totally different flick.

[@keithconstance3103]

It definitely looks good. I just don't think I can justify the cost.

[@Julius_Hardware]

But which ending does it have?
