Review of Hardware (1990) by M W — 27 Jan 2013
Extremely boring until the robot which looks like half tusken raider and half kabal from mortal kombat finally assembles itself and begins to wreak havoc. And that's really only because I love 80s prop special effects; puppets etc.
Big problem is that this is set up like a horror movie rather than sci-fi so it comes off more like chucky than alien. The human characters are quite unlikable. I will say the tripping balls and gory door crushing toward the ending definitely regained my interest after some boring lulls but the payoff is not that rewarding so I still wouldn't recommend this movie.
when you've got Robocop, terminator, irobot, blinky and a million other movies about killer robots, there is hardly any reason to watch hardware. Last thing worth noting, the soundtrack is pretty tight.
