"Invaders from Mars" is a good remake of the classic 1953 sci-fi film. The original movie was made a couple of years after the end of WWII when the army was the symbol of defense of the country. Tobe Hooper introduced more humor in the story and the result is very entertaining. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Invasores de Marte" ("Invaders from Mars")
Note: On 31 July 2022, I saw this film again.
