Even his parents fall prey to the Martian invaders (affected humans have telltale probe wounds on their necks!), and the boy eventually comes face to ugly face with the not-so-friendly E.T.s.
The original 1953 INVADERS FROM MARS is a cult classic, appreciated for both its influence on later similar films and the fact that it reads as hilariously corny by today standards.
But this 1986 remake--in spite of a big budget, several very talented actors, and a deliberately campy script--is unlikely to inspire the same sort of loyalty, and it was universally condemned by critics and audiences alike when first released.

 Invaders from Mars (1953)
It belongs to a particular mini-genre of alien invader films that dealt with alien infiltration and duplication.
The middle of the film’s 78 minute running time is padded by quite a bit of stock footage of astronomical observatories and in particular of military maneuvers.
The tall bug-eyed Martian soldiers look quite unworldly, although this effect is spoiled somewhat by the baggy costumes and clearly visible zippers, as are the shots of the Martian leader’s disembodied head by the necessity to have to cut to closeup every time it has to register expression.

Indeed, Tobe Hooper's remake of the 1953 classic Invaders from Mars is a total hoot, remaining loyal to the original while serving up a kaleidoscopic orgy of fang-toothed beasties, dazzling pyrotechnics, and enough wretched dialogue to choke its enthusiastic cast.
In "INVADERS FROM MARS" Tobe Hooper directs a terrific cast -- Karen Black, Timothy Bottoms, Bud Cort and Louise Fletcher -- in a straightforward update of the of the 1953 cult classic.
