I was lucky enough to see a good looking print of this which showed off Flloyd Crosby's fine photography. It's not a bad movie. Famously made very quickly to cash in on Sputnik but there's intelligence at work. Seems influenced by Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Dick Miller isn't well cast in the lead. Richard Devon is good as a scientist who gets possessed. Susan Cabot has a strength and intelligence that is effective.
The space ship looks silly - it's like a living room. It's not a bad movie. Nothing special. Really for completists of Corman, Cabot or Miller.
