Review of Rotor (2015) by Allan C — 03 May 2016

Really a zero star film, but I did get at least ** stars or maybe more worth of entertainment out of it. The story is a hilariously awful Robocop/Terminator ripoff about a robotic police officer being created to patrol the mean streets of Dallas, TX.

However, the robot goes haywire and must be stopped by the scientist who created it. The dialogue is just terrible and the acting is even worse, but in the best sort of way. The Dr. Frankenstein main character who creates the police robot is played by Richard Gesswein, who I'm pretty sure another actor dubbed all his lines because what he says never seem to quite match up to his mouth, though that just adds to the film's Ed Wood-like 80s charm.

Now the robotic police office is actually just a big actor, but there is one funny ultra low budget stop motion sequence that shows the robot skeleton doing kung-fu. Undeniably an amateurish and poorly made film, but it's one that is SO badly made that it is an awesome film experience for connoisseurs of bad cinema.
