The police and communications experts join forces in tracking a fugitive, who is in reality a space alien who is invisible when not wearing his spacesuit.
Another collaboration between producer/director W. Lee Wilder and his son Myles who co-wrote the screenplay, the production suffers a bit from its low budget, but the invisibility effects are fairly decent, and I found the story engaging enough. There's not a dynamic lead actor among the cast, the camera setups are fairly static, and at times there's a bit too much expositional dialogue, which are to the film's detriment, but William Lava's music score is a strong asset, and the alien's reveal at the climax doesn't disappoint. This is a better film than Wilder's Killers From Space and The Snow Creature, and the first I can think of that introduced the subject of an invisible alien being.
