Iron Invader

There are many film grenades that I am throwing my body on out there for you.  This was another one.  Iron Invader doesn't offer too much other than an afternoon spend watching the screen.

A Russian satellite gets hit with a meteor and the wreckage hurls towards the Earth.  The satellite wreckage lands in Redeemer, Idaho.  A small little town that barely has enough people there to fill a bus.  The wreckage lands on an old man's property and he is the first to discover that this satellite has a bit more debris from the meteor than expected.  This green colored space goo gets on his hands and kills him.

There doesn't seem to be anyone else that sees the satellite streaking across the sky other than the old man and these two brothers trying to restore an old house.  The brothers drive to the crash site and after looking around decide to take the satellite and sell it to the junk dealer of the town.  Earl the junk dealer, is constructing a metal golem for the town celebration that is going to be happening next week.  You can already see where this is going from a mile away.  Yep, the satellite makes its way near the golem and brings it to life.  Now a seventeen foot, one ton metallic man is going to destroy the townspeople.

The town drunk figures out that alcohol will kill the green space goo, which is some sort of bacteria.  The discovery is made when he drops his drink while people are watching the golem reassemble itself after a failed attempt at exploding the creature.  Then they start pouring liquor on all of the metallic parts that have the green goo on it.

Scrap metal shaking, a car rim or two rolling around, and veins drawn on people when they are killed is what you will see for most of the movie.  It's horrible.  No real property damage to speak of, no real quality kills.

I give this 0 out of 5 metal golems.
