IT CONQUERED
THE WORLD
MOVIE ARTICLE

I'm a fan of Horror, Thriller, Mystery, and Suspense, whether in Science Fiction or Supernatural form. That means I've watched a lot of sloppy, goofy, absurd movies - often made by major studios. I also enjoy non-genre movies as well as comedies, though where movies are concerned, nothing is worse than a bad comedy movie. A movie billed as a comedy that isn't actually funny is more than sad, its repellent.

On the other hand, you can have a serious, preachy, Horror movie that is so obnoxiously full of its own uneducated shit that its hilarious!

Roger Corman was only 30 when he made this movie and already had 11 feature films under his belt. He wrote a book called How I Made A Hundred Movies In Hollywood And Never Lost A Dime with co-writer Jim Jerome.

In that book he recounted how IT CONQUERED THE WORLD nearly broke his record of making profit off of his first 100 movies. Roger not only explains how he carefully sold, distributed, and marketed this movie so it'd turn a profit, he details exactly where he felt he went wrong with it.

And you know what?

For a guy with his astounding story and success, he's remarkably wrong! Roger had no idea how he went wrong with where he went wrong with this movie despite decades of fans and critics carefully, compassionately (because Roger was a charming guy and people liked him) explaining the obvious.

For Roger, the problem was his ridiculous looking monster. And yes, that monster is goofball as all get out. But if Giger himself designed the monster the movie would still be bonehead inane! Read about the sublimely stupid fun of IT CONQUERED THE WORLD.
