'Target Earth' (1954) – Sherman A. Rose.
The surprisingly compelling Drive-in classic 'Target Earth' has heroic handsome hunk Richard Denning and the duskily voluptuous Kathleen Crowley meeting cute in the midst of an invasion by beautifully prototypical 1950s robots. 'Target Earth' is picture-perfect popcorn Sci-fi with one of the more effectively doomy first acts, Nora (Kathleen Crowley) groggily awakening in a desolate, abandoned city has a palpably nightmarish quality, giving Sherman A. Rose's exciting Sci-Horror 'Target Earth' a far less schlocky tone, instead, being strongly imbued with an oppressive 'Night of The Living Dead' quality, as the silently lumbering, cathode ray-blasting Robots have an eerie, zombie-like demeanour! The exceptionally fine cast, including the stolid Sci-fi icon Whit Bissell, a lively script by James H. Nicholson, and some no less zesty direction from Sherman A. Rose make the frequently thrilling 'Target Earth' well worth a shot for vintage Sci-fi freaks!
