I would've adored this film as a kid, and I enjoyed it immensely as an adult. Scattered survivors find themselves the only inhabitants of a large city which has been evacuated overnight. Figuring an enemy invasion is imminent, the group bands together and tries to reach the Army positioned outside the city limits. Then they see the invaders -seven foot robot soldiers controlled from outer space! Richard Denning stars, and character actor Richard Reeves is given a larger-then-usual turn as one of the survivors. Whit Bissell is among the outside scientists trying to find a weakness in the invaders. Wonderful obscure 50's science fiction. I believe it was Image that released a very nice scope DVD some years back (another label released the film since, in a nearly identical box), one of which I hope to pick up eventually. Unfortunately, this earlier disk is long out of print and must've been pressed in limited numbers. They command a hefty price for a disk.
