It's very good, maybe even one of the better, more imaginative episodes, but I've probably seen it too many times over the years-- it's sort of like the "Satisfaction" or "Brown Eyed Girl" of the Twilight Zone for me, I'm afraid. Agnes Moorehead is, of course, excellent in carrying the half hour without any dialogue at all (one of the Twilight Zone's weaknesses, in my opinion, is too much dialogue sometimes), but the "alien spacemen" remind me of some Japanese manufactured toys I had as a little kid (I think my Dad picked them up at NY's Port Authority on his way home from work) and they're more laughable now than terrifying. A great episode if you've never seen it before.

My personal favorite. When you see the flag on the flying saucer, you understand what the "Twilight Zone" is all about.

This was a great episode, I was totally rooting for her when she just wailed on that spaceman she caught, and ended up stuffing him in a bag and throwing him in the fire. Earthlings or not they kind of deserved it for what they were doing to her

an excellent episode. Agnes Moorehead is very good as the mute woman who is invaded by an spaceship. she is a gian to them and they start attacking her. she defends herself throughout the show. at the very end she has victory when she conquers them. we then hear the only dialogue in English saying to leave right away and do not come here. the beings are too powerful. we now see the aliens she has been fighting were from earth. the USA no less. But hey they were invading her! Agnes Moorehead showed good acing without saying a word she got the audience to root for her. real good twist at the end.

Classic! Such a powerful story told and with virtually no dialogue - sheer brilliance

The very Twilightzonesque kicker at the end made this episode. The tiny space creatures who had been terrorizing the protagonist turn out to be beleagured Earthlings!

This is one of the better episodes. Remember Agnes Moorehead, the mother on "Betwitched?" Well she is an old woman accosted by small intruders in space suits that come from a flying saucer that has landed on her house. She battles them for many minutes, finally killing one and following the other back to his ship. There she hears him send off a desperate warning to other potential invaders, after which she destroys the ship with an axe. A close up on the side of the ship reveals a decal that reads "U.S. Air Force" and Agnes is an alien giant. The entire episode has no dialogue from the old woman except groaning.

Great stuff at work here. No talking the whole episode until the end was different. Nice twist with the aliens. Good stuff overall.

A brilliant tour de force pantomine by Agnes Moorehead. Ending has a nice twist.

This one's just great. Agnes Moorehead is first rate in the lead role, despite, as alpepper observes not having a line. Brilliant use of the camera and lighting to create what amounts to a horror film.

This one was pretty good. Agnes Moorehead is really good in it, though she never utters a word. Ending was a surprise. Wonder if the creator of Land of the Giants got the idea from this episode.

Unfortunately I don't know the episodes by name, but I'm pretty sure this is the one with the old woman (Agnes Moorehead?) living in a primitive shack who has to deal with a miniature spaceship landing in her attic. It's my favorite episode. There is creepy suspense throughout and a killer surprise ending. Quintessential Twilight Zone stuff.
