I recently seen Target Earth for the first time and found eerie and haunting, despite the low budget.
Chicago is evacuated due to being invaded by robots from Venus. A small group of people who were not aware of this situation go into a hotel for safety, but the robots find them at the end. Two survive. Sound waves invented by a scientist 'kill' the robots and the "Windy City" is saved, as is the world.
The cast in this movie includes 50's sci-fi regulars Richard Denning (Creature From the Black Lagoon) and Whit Bissell (The Lost Continent). These and the other stars play good parts. The music and score to this movie is quite impressive for a low budget picture. The robots look pretty cheap though. They look like washing machines.
This movie is worth watching and I enjoyed it.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
