A fun film to watch for it's cheesiness.

*Spoiler/plot- The Human Duplicators, 1965. An all-knowing outer space alien is dispatched from another galaxy to take over the Earth by "duplicating" humans. He wants to create a race of zombie people that really resemble animated pottery. The new formative "duplicates" are cooked up in the lab in individual coffins and things that look like Star Trek transporter pads. The alien master's heart is softened by the persevering kindness of a beautiful blind woman he meets. This deeply conflicts with his motives as the film plods to its "climactic" confrontation between the humans and their counterfeit duplicates.

*Special Stars- Richard Kiel, Barbara Nichols, George Macready, Hugh Beaumnont.

*Theme- Replacing the human race is impossible.

*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Film was shot in 14 days. Final film of Hugh Beaumont.

*Emotion- A fun film to watch for it's cheesiness. Enjoy the opening and closing shots of the alien spacecraft resembling a Christmas tree ornament traveling through space. All of the faces of the "duplicated" humans shatter like 'a cheap vase when thrown to the floor'. The semi-robotic plot makes this film worth your time, if you like robots.

*Based on- Outer space alien landing on Earth fears.
