SPOILER WARNING
“Creation of the Humanoids” is a low budget film from 1962, about a post-apocalyptic society trying to survive with the help of intelligent robots, disparagingly known as Clickers. A group obviously modelled on the KKK, the Order of Flesh and Blood, sees the androids as a threat to humankind. The Order harasses and attacks Clickers on a semi-regular basis.
In reality, the Clickers are aiding humanity by resurrecting dead humans in android bodies. The neo-humans (or neo-androids) can survive the increased levels of radiation in the atmosphere, and even procreate. The leader of the Order eventually learns that he, too, is really an android. In the closing scene, the “mad” scientist (who turns out to be a good guy) reveals that the plot is set in mankind's past, not the future, and that *we* are the descendants of the Clickers…
Thank you.
Despite the interesting concept, “The Creation of the Humanoids” is so low budget and slow-paced, that I only give it two stars. But yes, I can understand why this is considered a classic in some circles…
