Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

GL84 Moving to a new neighborhood, a teenage computer whiz attempts to save his dying girlfriend decides to place the brain of a robot in her body which turns this into a ravenous killing machine that seeks revenge on his tormentors forcing him to have to stop his creation.This here wasn't all that enjoyable an effort. One of the few good aspects here is the fact that this one really tries to something original with the concept of the returning victim being brought back to life. This one nicely forsakes the concept of the Frankenstein motif it easily could've gone to and instead brings out a brain swap with the robot, making the switch to be quite fun and unique. That also leads into the fun attacks and revenge that she takes on, with these scenes not only being quite cheesy and silly but also providing some solid action into the proceedings as this is what really gives this a fine second half. That the romance isn't excruciating also helps the first half here which does come off nicely and sets up the later half rampage quite nicely. While these do manage to work for this one, it does have a series of somewhat troubling flaws found throughout here. The main issue to be had is the fact that there's just not a whole lot going on here for the first half of the film which manages only a few interesting concepts without really doing much else here. As the main focus in the film is the rather overlong romance angle, from the initial meet-cute and their strained relationship with the abusive father trying to keep them apart even though she keeps sneaking over to his house, the majority of this one runs through a romance angle between them is where the vast majority of that comes from, as the lives of the kids is set-up in a fine matter but doesn't really offer this one the chance to really explore the idea at its center which indeed comes quite late into the film. This is quite fine and generally, makes for a decent intro to the group but it also gives this quite a lengthy setback to get to the rampage which feels rather at odds with this whimsical beginning as it doesn't generate the required empathy in their relationship to make it feel like a rampage works. It's a fine start to a relationship, but in terms of being a full-on exploration of their life together, all it does is draw the film out longer. There's also the fact that this one doesn't really do much with the rampage that really lets this one work-out it's central premise once it occurs as there's far more screen time devoted to trying to have him hide her from the others rather than actually accomplishing anything so that it really doesn't feel all that interested in the vicious robot going out seeking revenge for anything that occurs. As those scenes are over quickly despite the action, it doesn't focus on that issue the way it could've. These here are what hold this one back.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

FlashCallahan The everyday story of one boy and his robot moving to a new house and making new friends and enemies.But seeing as this is Wes Craven, something sinister is bound to happen. with a basket ball!It's an odd choice of movie for Craven, seeing that he had just made one of the most iconic horror movies of all time two years earlier, but there is still a lot of fun to be had.I had no idea what the main plot device was, I just knew it was a Craven film I had never heard of, so I thought the first act was about a killer robot, and that 'BB' would become more sinister as the film progressed.Then Kristy Swanson, gets thrown down the stairs, and then we are back in full Craven mode, with a little eighties cheese thrown in.The performances are okay, Paul spends the film looking sweaty, Swanson is good, but the Darryl Hannah eye make up thing doesn't look like your decaying. And for some reason, Paul's friend just keeps fainting.The basketball scene is truly amazing, and depending on how you are feeling, you will either laugh or just groan.It's a very hard to find movie, but if you do find it, and love all things eighties, this will suit you.And it's a guarantee this will never be remade..

Dave from Ottawa This is another horror thriller that simply isn't. Thrilling that is, nor horrific for that matter. A teenage Baron Frankenstein wannabee uses dubious and unconvincing science fiction robotics to resurrect his galpal- next-door but she goes out of control. Wow, an ill-conceived machine runs amok. What a novel idea! Yawn. Well-crafted suspense or a strong moody atmosphere would at least have made this film watchable, but alas Wes craven is no Alfred Hitchcock. There is very little here to like. The performances are stiff, the drama forced, the story predictable and the inevitable violent rampage is dull and non-compelling. There isn't even the dark, moody world of a proper horror movie. Everything in the movie is too bright, shiny and suburban, which could perhaps create an ironic context but it doesn't even manage that much. This is paint-by-numbers movie-making of the worst sort.Avoid. The average episode of Buffy is much more worthy of any viewer's time.

preppy-3 Stupid movie. It's about a teenage genius Paul (Matthew Laborteaux) who falls in love with sweet Sam (Kristy Swanson). He also has a cute lovable robot he invented called BB. No, I'm not kidding. Sam accidentally dies and he steals her body from the hospital (just like real life huh?) and brings her back to life (kind of) by inserting a robot brain in HER brain. No, I'm not kidding. Unfortunately she has this pesky little habit of roaming about and killing people. This all leads to a bewildering and dumb (even for this film) finale that will have you either laughing or rolling your eyes (or both).Sheesh! Wes Craven did THIS??? I knew this was going to be bad when they introduce, right off the bat, an "adorable" robot called BB. Is this supposed to be a horror film or a Disney film? The plot is, to put it mildly, stupid and it fails completely as a horror film. It isn't scary and the murders are more stupid than horrifying. Would you believe someone is beheaded by a BASKETBALL???? The logic in here is bewildering. Sam is bought back to life--but why does she suddenly have super strength like the Hulk? And why exactly does Paul bring her back to life? For what reason? Those are just the beginning of the glaring lapses in logic here. Aside from everything else this is pretty dull stuff. And wait till you hear the end title music which uses "BB" in it again and again and AGAIN! To make it worse Laborteaux is a very annoying actor. It's easy to see why he never hit it big. The only good acting is by Swanson (LOVE how she acts like the robot when she comes back to life), Michael Sharrett (very funny playing Tom) and Anne Ramsey having a whale of a time. But this is a boring and stupid film that is best left forgotten. Avoid.
