Following on from The Mechanical Man, here is a modern independent scifi film that uses a retro look — including being in black-and-white — for its robots. It’s called Automatons (US-2006) and was directed by James Felix McKenny.

The retro appeal makes this look like a SF movie to watch out for — not to mention the fact that it has Angus Scrimm (“The Tall Man” of Phantasm fame) in it.

This film looks amazing!! They actually achieved making it look absolutely ‘ vintage ‘.No wonder it has such a resounding buzz-factor going on.I think more people should check this little film out.It definitely deserves all the exposure that it can get.
I reckon I’ll be grabbing a copy of the DVD as soon as I can. At any rate, it’s on the list!
