Target Earth
Raw Panic The Screen Never Dared Reveal!
Directed by Sherman A. Rose
Produced by Abtcon Pictures, Herman Cohen Productions
A 1950s sci-fi horror hybrid that traps vulnerable survivors in a deserted city under dual threats—alien invasion and human predation—creating paranoia and dread through isolation and claustrophobia.
Giant robots from Venus invade Chicago. Stranded in the deserted city are Frank and Nora (who has recently attempted suicide). They meet a celebrating couple at a café, Vicki Harris and Jim Wilson. The quartet escape the robot patrol and take refuge in a large hotel. There, they encounter a new danger in Davis, a psychopathic killer.
