Ranking Every Tobe Hooper Film From Worst To Best
4. Invaders From Mars
Tobe Hooper's remake of the 1953 sci-fi cult classic Invaders From Mars may be full of botched comedy and painfully dull characters, but it still wows in the FX department.
That's generally what happens when Stan Winston and John Dykstra are in charge of your creature design, though the spacecraft interiors look fantastic too.
Invaders From Mars was savaged by critics upon release, but has since amassed a cult following of its own and influenced a handful of contemporary movies, such as The Faculty.
Hooper's remake is a different intergalactic animal to its age-old predecessor, which is dark and brooding throughout, but is always a spectacle regardless of its flaws.
