Extraterrestrial Visitors(Movie, 1983)

Extra Terrestrial Visitors (Spanish: Los nuevos extraterrestres, lit. The New Extraterrestrials) is a 1983 science fiction film directed by Juan Piquer Simón. The film's original draft was meant to be a straightforward horror film about an evil alien on a murderous rampage, but the producers demanded script alterations in order to cash in on the success of Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by featuring a child and a cute, lovable alien. A co-production between France and Spain, it was first theatrically released in the former country. In the United States, it was sometimes known by the alternate title The Unearthling, and was aired on television bearing this name. The film was largely forgotten until 1991, when it was lampooned by B movie-mocking cult TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000, which used a print by Film Ventures International in which the film was re-titled Pod People.
