Though some fans of “bad” cinema often put 1953’s ROBOT MONSTER on the same tier with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959), it honestly doesn’t even come close to reaching the heights of inspired ineptitude attained by Ed Wood’s magnum opus. Still, ROBOT MONSTER is an entertaining so-bad-it’s-good flick in its own right.

The last six remaining humans on Earth resist attacks by Ro-man, an extraterrestrial who looks something like a gorilla wearing a cheap diving helmet. Receiving orders from his superior via 1950s consumer electronics that emit, of all things, soap bubbles, Ro-man’s job is to clear out all intelligent life on Earth so that his “people” can come inhabit the planet themselves. Unfortunately for Ro-man, he finds it impossible to carry out his orders after he falls in love with an Earth girl, and it’s all downhill for him from there.
This ludicrous tissue-thin plot is full of gaping holes, and the badly executed scene transitions and various stock-footage inserts of fighting reptiles and animated dinosaurs are humorously befuddling. But when it is revealed at the end of the film that all was simply the dream of a science-fiction-crazed young boy, the whole dish seems a little more palatable.

Some critics have read the film as an allegory of life in occupied Europe during World War II. Ro-man, it is claimed, represents a Nazi soldier simply carrying out the orders of his Hitler-like commander, and the surviving humans can be viewed as living an Anne Frank-like existence in their energy-encompassed hideout. But the obvious weaknesses of the plot, the glaringly technical mistakes, and the bargain-basement production values make it hard to believe that the filmmakers were astute enough to attempt allegorical storytelling. Any similarity to real situations or to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Believe it or not, the music for ROBOT MONSTER is actually pretty good (that is, “good” good, not “bad” good). It was composed by the late Elmer Bernstein, who went on to score cinematic greats like THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960), TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962), GHOST BUSTERS (1984), and MY LEFT FOOT (1989), to name but a few. Perhaps it is the efforts of the talented Mr. Bernstein that prevents ROBOT MONSTER from reaching the same level of achievement as Wood’s PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE?
ROBOT MONSTER may not be the best “bad” film ever made, but for aficionados of the awful and connoisseurs of the crass, it’s not to be missed.
While it’s not in the original 3-D–yes, ROBOT MONSTER was filmed in old-school 3-D–the DVD from Image Entertainment offers the highest-quality consumer copy of the film to date, and the price that amazon charges for it is hard to beat.
I must agree with those who say this could be the BEST “worst movie ever made.” I have seen nearly every Ed Wood movie and although his “Plan 9 From Outer Space” has a special place in the heart of any fan of bad sci-fi movies, “Robot Monster” certainly gives it a run for the money. (Ed Wood had nothing to do with “Robot Monster” but it’s similar to his type of movies.) This movie is so gloriously bad and yet entertaining on many levels. I love the stock footage of fighting lizards, interjected for no apparent reason. The tender moments like the impromptu wedding scene. The bubbles that float up around Ro-Man’s junky-looking equipment. The fact that the heroine manages to get tied up in rope TWICE, once by her friends & family and later by the monster. The terminology (like the “calcinator death ray”). The pointless scenes showing the Ro-Man schlepping up and those barren hills and plains. Dialogue that is so stilted, it would make Ed Wood proud. I could go on and on. What could you possibly be doing in your life that is so important you can’t spend the 62 minutes it takes to watch this incredible paean to human incompetence?
