The movie starts out with a pronouncement from some alien presence that he/it is going to take over the world, piece by piece, creature by creature. He manages to rein in a German shepherd and a cow, but the humans seem to be a lot more complicated. A family of three are living in a house in some desert area, growing something (not quite sure what). The guy's wife is fed up with their desperate condition and longs for her lost youth. Their daughter (no great prize as film stars go) wants to go to college but mom is filled with hatred for her unlimited potential. They also have a large man of limited mental capacity (and mute as well) helping them on the farm. He lies on his back in his room and looks at magazines. He also follows the girl to the swimming hole when she gets into her bathing suit. They have determined he is harmless and treat him much like the German shepherd. One day a high whiny sound is heard and the glassware and china is broken. Suddenly the animals become vociferous, attacking their owners. Apparently the problem is a Proctor-Silex percolator that is sending out signals. By influencing the animals and the slow guy, they will take over the house in the desert. Well, I suppose one needs to start small. This is every bit as bad as it sounds. The acting is horrible and there are really no special effects. Let this one drift off into space.
