An alien movie I saw on TV years ago

Tools    





Several years ago, I saw a pretty interesting alien movie on tv with my Dad. I'll try to name as much about it as I can think of.

-The aliens often pulled their victims through holes in the sand to capture them.

-The main character is a young kid.

WARNING: "Spoilers" spoilers below
-There's a scene when the boy sees a teacher eat a live frog. That teacher is eaten by one of the aliens near the end of the film.


-A woman accompanies the boy as they try to figure out what happened. I think that she was the school nurse, but I'm not entirely sure.

WARNING: "Spoilers" spoilers below
-The military attack the aliens near the end of the film by going into their base which is located under the sand.

-One of the military soldiers is killed before they go down into the sand, because he fell off of the rocks and got captured through one of the holes. I forget if any other soldiers were killed in the end of the film. I know that he was killed though.


If anyone knows the name of this film, I'd be happy.

Invaders from Mars? Either the 1953 version or the 1986 version.

Here's the frog scene from the 1986 version...
