WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953/Paramount) 85 Minutes 16mm Excellent Dupe

Serious, really serious big-time monster movie. Really. Seriously. If you have a crowd of unruly brats that you need to not only silence, but wreck revenge upon, this is the ticket. Don't warn them. Turn the sound way, way up, and then leave them alone. Just the trauma of the sound of those unforgettable death rays is enough to scar them for life. Just ask your friends. Has a slightly repugnant ending for those atheist souls amongst you, as all George Pal films do.
