Customer Reviews

An independent psychological film just happens to resemble sci-fi.

The story opens with a scene from the air zeroing in on L.A. and slowing down to silently show an unconscious woman (Kathleen Crowley); beside her is a half-empty bottle of sleeping pills. The story is of a handful of people who wake up to find the city is empty of humankind; that is, living humankind; they must piece together the missing parts of the puzzle, and they must learn to cooperate and huddle together. Soon, they will realize that they are at ground zero on “Target Earth.” The film has all the feel and dialogue of an old Twilight Zone episode. However, the actors of frontline majors. Virginia Grey was in over 140 movies and programs, including “Bachelor in Paradise” (1961). Richard Denning was in “Creature from the Black Lagoon” (1954). The whole movie was made on a shoestring budget, so they only had one robot (Steve Calvert, the head bartender at Cerro’s nightclub) that they tinkered together in a garage. The car (Oldsmobile convertible) with the dead uh…err… battery belonged to the producer (Herman Cohen), and they used a buddy in the police forces to stop the traffic for the empty street shots. All shot in seven days, mostly in the deserted L.A. streets on a Sunday morning. One of the most horrifying parts of this movie was that they were forced to drink warm beer.
