1954 - TARGET EARTH, a rather zany low budget science fiction film

From low budget studio Allied Artists suppliers of cheap crime and science fiction films comes this rather interesting space invasion film with a pretty stiff alien robot monster.  In fact the monster looks like it is made out of cardboard for the most part.


Trapped behind enemy lines. Five people must survive in deserted Chicago as these goofy killer space robots wander the city.  At least one of them anyway.  I can't recall seeing more than one robot at a time.

As if killer robots from space isn't enough of a problem, one of the five individuals hiding out in Chicago,  is some sort of psycho criminal with a gun who trying to run the show.  


Target Earth's cheapness and B movie cast make the film fun to watch.  The film stars Richard Denning who kind of made a career out of this stuff.  Denning's last gig was playing the Governor of Hawaii on the Hawaii 5-0 TV series.

75 minutes, written by James H. Nicholson, Wyott Ordung and William Raynor.
