Product Description:
Sex-starved robot monster Ro-Man has destroyed all but a few humans and it is up to them to repopulate the planet.
Amazon.com:
Phil Tucker's Robot Monster has rightfully earned a place in the pantheon of bad movies over the years, and for good reason--it makes anything done by Ed Wood look like an Orson Welles masterpiece. Picture, if you will, a gorilla in a diving helmet (the Ro-Man) who wipes out all of the Earth's population except for one family (the Hu-Mans), whom he terrorizes through the rest of the film. From his headquarters in a Bronson Canyon cave, he communicates with his superiors via World War II surplus radio gear and a Lawrence Welk-style bubble machine, then shambles around the woods looking for his quarry. The plot of this post-holocaust sci-fi nonsense is hardly worth going into past that point, except to say that it's stupendously, staggeringly awful filmmaking. It's even more incredible when you consider that the writers and director undoubtedly believed that they were making a deep, serious, grave statement about the horrors of nuclear war... and wound up with several reels of celluloid flotsam. Any self-respecting fan of bad cinema who hasn't seen this notorious wreck of a movie isn't worth his or her salt. Poor Phil Tucker--when Robot Monster was released, it received such a thorough shellacking that he tried to commit suicide. Tucker failed, though, and went on to make the even less comprehensible Broadway Jungle and the marginally better Cape Canaveral Monsters. --Jerry Renshaw

I think this movie was made for children, and the story seems conceived, at least in part, by a child. Very low budget. Couldn't have cost less unless they shot it right where the camera and recording equipment were stored. Probably good entertainment for 9-year-old boys of the 1950's. Now, it would make a perfect double feature with "Plan 9 from Outer Space." If you like this kind of crap, as I do, your expectations are already low enough to enjoy this barely competent nonsense.

Most likely because I was never in roots with the 1950s, but I am having doubts that "Robot Monster" ever took advantage of the 3D technology. Not a single image in the movie really pop out of the screen and making silly hand gestures in front of me; I'm watching it in 2D, but there should be some visual indication that it was a 3D effect. Maybe this is one of those subtle 3D movies that people call it the true form of 3D, like that James Cameron $2 billion blockbuster. Who knows?

Looks like the family is having a picnic in the most unlikely spot, the ravine of Bronson Canyon, California (just rocks, dirt, and more rocks.) It is nap time. When Johnny wakes up he finds that the earth has been destroyed. The advanced force invader is a creature that looks like an ape in a diving helmet. He must be related to Laurence Welk because there are bubbles everywhere. Soon it is clear that the invader (Ro-man) has the hots for Alice (Claudia Barrett). Hope she likes hairy, bald men. Talk ...

I like these dumb b-movies and this one is one of the worst but still very funny. "Glen Or Glenda" by Ed Wood is the worst movie ever made. Watch it and you will agree. Robot Monster has a bubble making machine and it's so frightful I can't tell you the rest and spoil the movie. At the end of the movie, it's all clear. Beware of ROMAN!

Watching TV in the early to mid 1960's I classified everything I liked into the MONSTER MOVIE catagory, being the SHOCK THEATER package featuring all the UNIVERSAL monsters, Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, Man-made monsters, etc. or local TV's 5:00 SHOWTIME which spotlighted TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE, KILLER SHREWS, BEGINNING OF THE END, ATTACK OF THE 50FT. WOMAN, etc..,and of course FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine lump-summed it all together as just simply MONSTER MOVIES, period.
