"Without a doubt, one of the all-time worst films ... every oddball moment of ROBOT MONSTER is a veritable treasure trove of comedic fodder. Whether you're a hu-man or a ro-man, it's hard not to love this bad movie gem." - COOL CINEMA TRASH

You'll cringe in terror (and hilarity) at the cinematic monstrosity ROBOT MONSTER, one of the most notorious bad movies from the Golden Age of Bad Movies, the 1950s ... a time when The Red Menace, three-martini lunches and pointy bullet bras inspired some of the most ridiculous films to ever see the light of a drive-in movie theater!
Directed by the great bad movie auteur Phil Tucker (who also graced the world with such classics as Tijuana After Midnight and The Cape Canaveral Monsters), and originally released in glorious 3-D, ROBOT MONSTER tells the touching story of the "Ro-Man," an angry alien who looks suspiciously like a gorilla in a diving helmet. Ro-Man (the opposite of "hu-man" - get it? The script only gets worse from there, so watch out ...) has been sent to Earth as the advance party of an impending invasion. Having killed everyone on the planet with his dreaded death ray, The Calcinator, Ro-Man is distressed to learn that eight humans have managed to escape death, and he is ordered by his big boss, The Great Guidance, to finish them off ... or else! And so begins a head-long flight into sheer stupidity as Ro-Man attempts to off the survivors (using his wacky arsenal of weapons, including his infamous "bubble machine" which just seems to blow pretty soap bubbles), before falling in love with the hot-cha-cha Alice, one of the humans who just can't seem to stop twisting her ankle and falling to the ground.
Will Ro-Man develop feelings? Will he become more Hu-Man than Ro-Man, despite the fact that he has a diving helmet for a face? And perhaps most importantly, what will Ro-Man and Alice's kids look like? You must see ROBOT MONSTER to find out, so don't miss it, stupid Earthling!
