The original movie "Invaders from Mars" 1953 I believe, was a classic. This remake, even if you hadn't seen the original is not a very good movie at all. It's about a young boy who see's a flying saucer in the night. Later he believes that aliens are taking over the people, including his parents. Very poor acting in my opinion, the effects were ok, but the movie I wouldn't even recommend for a rental. a real dud.
