A huge, alien structure resembling an inverted cone, appears in the woods outside a small rural town. Sent from Washington to investigate the origin of the mysterious object, a team of investigators discovers that intelligent parasites from inside the "cone" can attach themselves to humans' nervous systems and control their minds, taking control of the authorities and workers, making communication with the outside world impossible, and leaving the responsibility of stopping the invasion up to seven people who have thus far been able to avoid possession by these creatures from parts unknown.

I don't know what the statute of limitation is for a movie made in the '50s, but spoiler! [spoiler]The little parasites are terrestrial, that's the big twist. Yeah, doesn't really matter. And for some reason Moses is deep within the "cone."[/spoiler] This is basically just the poor man's _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_, which came out two years prior. There's not much to say about this quaint little horror/sci-fi movie. It's short, underdeveloped, pretty implausible, the acting is okay. If you really like the dated charm of sci-fi movies from that era, it's not bad. Just keep your expectations low.
