Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Quentin Lawrence directed this British science fiction horror film that stars Forrest Tucker as UN science investigator Alan Brooks, who goes to a remote mountaintop Swiss Village where a series of mysterious decapitation murders have taken place. Also there is Professor Crevett(played by Warren Mitchell) and a young woman with psychic powers(played by Janet Munro) who discover strange aliens who are crawling eyeballs who travel in the fog! The survivors try to escape their hotel to find a way to defeat them. Strange film is atmospheric but hurt by its silly monsters and inadequate F/X. Would have been better to keep them more in the fog, where they would have been eerie.

This movie started out kind of interesting, but then got real slow in the middle. It picks up again at the end, but it just moved to slowly and refused to reveal the monsters for to long to be a good movie. The story has these two sisters on a train making their way to Geneva, however, one of the sisters apparently has a vision or something and they end up stopping in this one resort mountain town where some strange things have been happening. Seems a lot of climbers are disappearing and there is even an incident where one climber lost his head in an unexplainable way. Well a guy visiting the area seems to suspect something and his friend at the observatory also believes something is happening that is more sinister than just a bunch of freak accidents. However, during the middle portion of the film there is just a bit to much speculation and way to much build up before they finally let us see the monsters in all their glory. They do not look that bad for the time, as I have seen a lot worse monsters in films made much later than this one. The film is also rather more bloody with a couple of people who have lost their heads along the way. The film was just very close to being a good movie, perhaps a better cast could have helped this one as I had a hard time understanding the ones they had at times during the film. Also, they could have been a lot less skittish about their monsters and give us an earlier peek. So while overall I did not like it, it was not boring and borderline good.

The film is set at the Trollenberg--a mountain in the Alps. It seems that several mountain climbers have been decapitated recently. Upon investigating, they discover that it's due to the presence of aliens. One way they know is that a lady among them seems to have psychic powers and she can sense these otherworldly creatures. The other is that they actually see the bizarre things. To try and describe the odd creatures is very hard--you really have to see it. It looks a bit like an octopus, a giant eyeball and a lot of pus all rolled into one.This is a decent 1950s horror/sci-fi film, though the monsters themselves are certainly NOT the highlight of the film. Another less than stellar aspect of the film is how incredibly easy these things turned out to be! What is decent is the rest of the story as well as the acting--led by veteran American actor, Forrest Tucker, in this British production. While far from great, the film is less silly than most (at least until you see the aliens) and the story (at least up until then) seems thoughtful and interesting.By the way, if you do watch the film, you'll see that in a rare case of actually accomplishing something, the UN comes to the rescue.

It's 1958, and that's as good a year as any for some low-brow hokum.I also saw this as a kid, though some time in the early 1960's and on television. And I don't mind saying that it gave me quite a scare.Tension builds surprisingly well for what is patently a B-movie. And that is a clue to good direction. The actors are all from the second division, which helps in a way because it makes the 'ordinary' characters they play seem more believable.There are some suitably gruesome killings which ratchet-up the tension as the 'mysterious cloud' begins to drift about. Whatever's in there must be pretty nasty. 'Mysterious Cloud'; has there ever been a horror/thriller that didn't have one? 'The Fog', 'Independence Day', 'War Of The Worlds', 'The Mist'; you just can't beat a mysterious cloud for - well, clouding things with mystery.When the monsters finally disclose themselves, you either laugh out loud or hide behind the sofa. Huge eyes with a bunch of whiplash tentacles: no evident brain, no discernible digestive tract; these are just horror-props plain and simple. Interestingly, the beasties attack an avalanche-proof observatory and manage to shatter the thick, concrete walls. Presumably they just stare them to bits.Half a century ago; a credible, unquestioning audience gobbled their popcorn in a state of shock at the terrible aliens, 50 years on we can all have a good laugh at such truly terrible aliens.The bug-eyed monster never got better than this.
