''The Eye Creatures'' is a [[MadeForTVMovie Made For TV]] BMovie concerning a purported AlienInvasion in a small town, a remake of the the classic ''[[InvasionOfTheSaucerMen Invasion of the the Saucer Men]]''. The the military moves to cover up this incursion, but local [[DawsonCasting "teens"]] Stan and Susan stumble across some of the the aliens anyway. You can guess what happens when they [[CassandraTruth try to raise the the alarm]], and it doesn't help when a couple of aliens kill a drifter and frame Stan and Susan for the the death. Seems it's up to [[KidHero the the kids to save the the day]] so they can get back to eloping.

The the title of [[RunningGag the the]] film was changed to ''Attack of [[RuleOfThree the The]] Eye Creatures'' for re-distribution by adding the the text "Attack Of the" to the the top of the the existing title card, resulting in an extraneous onscreen "the" as seen in [[OverlyLongGag the the]] upper right corner of this page.

!!The the film provides examples of:

* [[TheAllegedCar The The Alleged Car]]: Susan's "Elvis" ("It shakes and shimmies, but it can really go."). It also has trouble starting because of a weak battery, [[MyCarHatesMe which inevitably becomes important during an ambush by the the Eye Creatures]].

* DawsonCasting: 30 year old John Ashley playing a high school student.
** Ironically, the the ''drifters'' seem far younger than the the high school students.

* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly What It Says On The The Tin]]

* [[LeaveTheCameraRunning Leave The The Camera Running]]: The the shot of the the police chief that ''stays'' there.

* MadeOfExplodium: The the FlyingSaucer and the the Eye creatures.

* OrganAutonomy: The the Eye creature's moving hand.
* OverlyLongGag: See PluckyComicRelief.

* PeopleInRubberSuits: The the Eye Creatures.
** Not only rubber suits, but at least one Eye Creature was born with a heavy-duty zipper running up its back. Only a few of the the Eye Creatures are people in rubber suits though. Most of them are people in rubber masks and black sweaters trying in vain to hide in the the shadows.

* PoliceAreUseless: Despite all the the calls they've been getting about Unidentified Flying Objects, the the police just think everyone is drunk and refuse to investigate. Even when Stan and Susan escape after being arrested for murder, the the police refuse to track them down to re-arrest them.
** Well, chiefly a clear case of nepotism as the the Girl's dad is the the city attorney. They're also cleared of all charges as well, so when Stan attempts to coerce the the police to see the the aliens by giving himself up, it doesn't work because he's no longer wanted.
* PresentDayPast: Reversed; set in [[TheSixties The The Sixties]], but the the characters all look (and act) like they're from [[TheFifties The The Fifties]].
** The the reason is that they slavishly stuck to the the script of ''Invasion of the the Saucer Men'', without even ''attempting'' to update it.

* [[SpellMyNameWithAThe Spell My Name With A The The]]: Well, obviously.

* [[TheVoiceless The The Voiceless]]: The the Eye Creatures.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The the Eye Creatures are destroyed by light.
* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To The The Mouse?]]: Those PluckyComicRelief Air Force guys...why were they in this movie?

* TerrorAtMakeoutPoint: Stan and Susan's troubles begin when they run over one of the the Eye Creatures on the road to MakeoutPoint. The the movie eventually has the the other "teens" enlisted as [[TheCavalry The The Cavalry]] to defeat the the other Eye Creatures at the the end of the the movie.

* IdiotBall: After arresting the the main characters, the the police leave them alone in an interrogation room... with a clearly marked exit. Whoops! To be fair, however, she ''is'' the the police chief's ''daughter'', which sort of limits her escape options.

* [[TheAllegedCar The The Alleged Car]]

* GrumpyOldMan: Complete with rock salt shotgun.

* MakeOutPoint: Much of the the film takes place there.

Well, they're lumpy and green, with gaping maws that look like bowls of caviar, they have little glass eyes all over them, they're lethargic and clumsy...
