This is a 1958 horror sci-fi, in black and white. Directed by Bruno VeSota, and the stars include Ed Nelson and Cornelius Keefe.
An explosion in a forest causes problems for a local community. The cause of that is a mysterious metal cone that was responsible for animal deaths and human disappearances. Nobody could understand where it came from! Everyone assumed it must be alien in origin, but the mystery deepens. Meanwhile there's violence in the streets. A curious bunch of unknown parasite bugs want to take over the world.
A young Leonard Nimoy has a small part as a mystic living inside the cone! The nickname of this movie is "Bunny Slippers"! The actor Ed Nelson used his artistic skills to make the parasites. Science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein sued the film producers for plagiarising from his novel "The Puppet Masters" although it was settled out of court. It put off the actor John Payne wanting to make a film based on a novel by Heinlein.
I rate this confusion a 3/10
