Kronos Movie Review

Energy-hungry aliens send an ‘accumulator,’ a giant robot resembling a piston, to drain the Earth of all power sources. Scientists and their computer SUSIE (Synchro Unifying Sinometric Integrating Equitensor) sweat out a solution. Offbeat ‘50s space-invader saga is hopelessly hobbled by a low budget; whenever Kronos is on the move it turns into a cartoon so obviously hand-drawn that Wile E. Coyote could order it from Acme to use on the Roadrunner.

1957 78m/B Jeff Morrow, Barbara Lawrence, John Emery, George O'Hanlon, Morris Ankrum; D: Kurt Neumann; W: Lawrence Louis Goldman; C: Karl Struss. VHS, Beta, LV MED, MLB
