England's Amicus Studio gives us an adaptation of a sci-fi novel called The Gods Hate Kansas, but upon sighting a man carrying an umbrella and wearing a bowler hat, I assumed that perhaps the movie wasn't set in Kansas, after all. This is a pretty low-key "aliens take over our bodies and engage in some nefarious scheme" type of movie, with one of those "oh, it was all a big misunderstanding!" endings, but it was ably shot and solidly acted, as one expects from the Brits. And they try to liven things up with lots of gratuitous machine gun fire. Some pretty good cheap sci-fi sets at the end, and all in all, a pretty enjoyable experience. Feels more like a TV movie than a theatrical release, but since I was watching on my TV, that was fine.
