I have just finished watching this film with a friend after we set ourselves the challenge of watching every "bad" 80s horror film. We have seen some films which have left us scarred psychologically (for all the wrong reasons). At first we thought this film didn't appear to be that bad - oh how wrong we were.
Many of the other reviews on here have written about how it isn't "pretentious", how it's meant for the "sophisticated film lover". No - this film was designed for the partially lobotomised results of a terrible secret experimentation programme. Even monkeys would cover their eyes with their tails.
Most of the film is gibberish, but some of our favourite bits were: (*SPOILERS*) 1- The robot appears to hide and then attack comically - it gets tied up in a bed-sheet, hides behind a blind, dances behind a TV, and generally flails about like a robotic tart
2-How can people not know where each other are in a room the size of a garden shed?! The "artist" tells the fat sex offender that the robot is "in there" - surely it must have been 3 feet away doing we know not what!
3-The fat sex offender - truly grim. The line about popcorn made me flinch.
4-The robot can barely climb stairs and its vulnerabilities include showers, baseball bats and even at one point what appears to be a whisk of some description. Yet it can survive a fall from 100ft and still come back in comedy style.
5-My personal favourite, the Asian lady who is banging on her ceiling about the noise, then suddenly live in the building opposite!!!!!! She must be a time-lord.
Overall 1/10 - and this is kind!
