Next time you run into a gorilla with just a skull for a head wearing a diving helmet, take my advice and... RUN!!! Or, if you're more inclined, pull up a chair and watch this insanely bad movie. By all accounts 1953's Robot Monster is in the company of awesomely bad movies like Plan 9 from outer space and everything ever spoofed by MST3K - and if the lobby card is any indication, it's just worldwide mayhem waiting to happen. I mean really, "How can science meet the menace of Astral assasins" anyway? The moon monsters evidently team up with dinosaurs(?) and wipe out the human race. Yup, sounds plausible for Saturday afternoon popcorn fare.
Starring George Nader and Claudia Barrett this Astor Pictures Corp film was presented in 3D just in case the plot couldn't stand on its own. I mean what's not to love about a monster who destroys everyone on earth except a handful of people - then he falls in love with the prettiest of those who are left. I mean, really, they don't make cinema like this anymore in Hollywood.
