SYNOPSIS: It's an invasion of completely ineffectual aliens who, when the actors aren't out of their lame costumes, resemble actors in lame costumes. When one of these "Eye Creatures" gets run over by a 60's teenage couple, it sets them on the trail of a Scooby-Doo-like mystery to find out where the alien came from. Eventually, when no adults would believe them, the local teens dispatch the aliens themselves by surrounding the invasion force with their car headlights. This causes the light-sensitive extraterrestrials to explode, which, if you think about it, is a really strong disadvantage from an invasion standpoint. For no Earthly reason, the film is punctuated by two army idiots at a monitoring station who, sadly, survive til the end.

In a scene that's obviously shot during the day (Night! Day! Night!), the horrible Eye Creatures blow up spectacularly when exposed to light, even car headlights. What an invasion.
