Teenagers from Outer Space is a 1959 Cult Classic Sci-Fi Horror B-Movie written, directed, and produced by Tom Graeff.A crew of humanoid aliens from outer space land their spaceship on Earth, and decide that this is the perfect planet on which to establish a ranch for Gargons (i.e. giant lobsters). The idealistic young crew member Derek makes a moral and legal objection when he sees there is already intelligent life on the planet, meaning that by their own laws they can't use this world. When that fails to dissuade the others, he makes an armed objection, attempting mutiny; he fails, and has to escape the wrath of his crew (after all, the high court might have sentenced him to... never mind) by fleeing to a nearby small town. There, Derek meets Betty – the most Fifties girl in that Fifties world – and she and her grandfather take him in as a boarder. Meanwhile, the brash dog kicker Thor is sent to capture him – alive; it turns out that Derek's secretly the son of "Our Leader", even though family relationships don't really count on their home world anymore. Meanwhile, the Gargon specimen brought by the aliens grows huge after devouring a cop and soon threatens the town – and more are on the way.Shot for $14,000, which in terms of a movie budget was no money at all even by '50s standards. It shows. And, yes, much of the acting is wooden enough to make even Ed Wood blush. Even so, the film boasts some fairly ambitious science fiction writing which explores themes that are still relevant even now, even if the creators' ideas outstripped their ability to depict them credibly on screen.Played on a double-bill with Gigantis, the Fire Monster during its theatrical run.It is now in the public domain and can also be unlocked in the game Destroy All Humans!.No relation to the Animesque role playing game of the same name.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page. |

Off-the-Shelf FX: Again, that darn Atomic Disintegrator, which was a plastic toy with sometimes-visible label. Also, one piece of equipment is an audio mixing board, with (yes) the label clearly visible. Dialogue tries to cover this up by calling it a "Tri-Dex Mixer". |

The Sociopath: Thor, a fanatical soldier willing to commit genocide to prove his species' superiority. Despite his fanaticism, he's not actually loyal to his commanders, willing to defy orders to take a deserter alive. |

Flying Saucer: A very unique variation. The alien ship is basically a massive screw with a standard flying saucer as its head; when it lands, it drills into the ground until only the saucer part on top is visible. |

comment |
Giant Enemy Crab: The Gargon is a giant alien lobster. It starts the film as a baby the size of a regular lobster, but quickly grows when exposed to Earth's biosphere, and doesn't stop growing. In its second appearance it's the size of a whale, and by the beginning of the climax it's grown to Kaiju sizes. |

Keystone Army: The Supreme Leader, Derek's father, is noted as this in dialogue with the crew. his leaving their homeworld to visit his son on Earth is noted as risking their people's whole regime being overthrown. and since he and the other aliens die in the fleet crash at the end, the aliens are most likely now a Decapitated Army. |

Black-and-White Morality: Derek is wholly good, refusing to participate in the genocide and going rogue on his first mission. Thor is a sadistic madman willing to defy orders to kill even more people. The rest of the aliens are actively genocidal, with "Our Leader" being the only one with any redeeming qualities, namely caring about his son. |

Oh, Crap!: Multiple times, usually involving Thor or the Gargon. People that Thor ends up pointing his raygun at usually have this moment for a few seconds before being Stripped to the Bone. Betty calls her grandfather to warn him that Thor is dangerous. And then Thor shows up almost as soon as he hangs up. Derek and Thor both have this reaction when the gargon breaks out of the cave and goes on a rampage. |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The climax contains a massive invasion fleet of hundred upon hundreds of spaceships menacingly hovering over the town, descending and crashing simultaneously in a massive, cataclysmic fireball... offscreen. It's obvious that they only built one prop UFO and had no way of depicting an explosion, so we just get characters talking about the fleet and hiding from the blast. |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Did a bunch of ordinary human police officers take out a homicidal alien with just regular guns? Did Derek and Betty just take out a giant alien lobster with just a raygun pistol plugged up to a power line? |

Never Trust a Title: Despite the title and posters, nothing in the film even suggests the aliens are supposed to be teenagers—even though Derek is obviously the youngest, he's assumed by humans to be old enough to rent his own room. |
