Resumen
From the very beginning science fiction filmmakes have played on collective fear -especially the fear of invaders-spicing up their pictures with a healthy dose of realistic scare tactics. From all corners of the universe beings of every size, shape and colour have landed on our planet with plans much more destructive than all the bad guys put togeher could ever dream up. Psychotic Martians, such as those in Mars Attacks! (1997), emperors from the dark sike, like Star Wars legendary Darth Vader (1977), electronic criminal masterminds like HAL in 2001: a space odyssey (1968) and imperceptible entities like the Monsters of Id in Forbidden planet (1956): these are only a few of the most representative examples. Today the evil extraterrestrial invader genre is experiencing a successful resurgence, although the rough outlines haven´t really changed much since the 50s.
