This is an early Wes Craven classic. A young medical genious & his super-advanced robot(Bee-Bee)move in next door to a beautiful girl. Paul & Samantha become fast friends. Paul soon discovers her father is abusing her. One night after having dinner with Paul & his mother, Samantha's father comes over and demands for her to leave. After returning home, Samantha's father pushes her and she falls down a flight of stairs, breaking her neck and putting her into a coma. Samantha steadily declines and her father(who said the whole thing was an accident) decides to let them turn off the machines and let Samantha die. In a panic, Paul attempts a desperate plan to save Samantha. He takes the CPU from Bee-Bee(he was earlier destroyed by a mean neighbor)and inserts it into Samantha's brain and hopefully it will repair the damaged areas and return Samantha back to normal. The plan is doomed from the beginning because they turned off the machines two hours earlier than expected but Paul still attempts the procedure. He cuts the power to the hospital and he takes her and performs the operation. Samantha slowly starts to regain her motor skills and her memories start to come back. She starts to kill the people that have been mean to her and Paul realizes that he can not control her any longer. This is very good old school 80's horror flick that still delivers multiple frights 25 years later. I highly recommend this movieRead full review
I own this movie just for the scene where the "Goonies"/"Throw Mama From the Train" woman has her head exploded like a watermelon with a grenade in it. Gotta love those 80s horror film days. I'm a sucker for 80s horror movies- cheesier the better. I don't think this is available on DVD yet, so I settled for the VHS. This is a Wes Craven film for you Freddy Kreuger fans...
'Proof that there may be an alternative to burying dead girlfriends. Why go to a prostitute if there's a way to save a relationship. Loyalty to partners and hope for technology to triumph over humans with a moron behavior mode. Lots of DIY ideas for somebody with a grant from Exxon, Ford or Rockefeller and carte blanche with American Express at Radio Shack.'
Simply put one of the greatest Suspense movies (suppose to have ben horror) ever made point blank! A work of art they just dont make em like this any more!
This is an 80's flick and average for the older teenager. May be too intense for a the younger teeneager and definitely not for a younger child.
