Hardware (1990)

 

The head of a cyborg reactivates, rebuilds itself, and goes on a violent rampage in a space marine's girlfriend's apartment. 

Good-looking sci-fi thriller despite its low budget is a noteworthy achievement, although there are many derivative elements in its plot and effects.

Halliwell*: "A low-budget science-fiction horror story, filmed in the style of a rock music video."

Maltin**: "Surprisingly well made, but recalls many earlier (and better) films. Heavy violence nearly earned this an X rating, before it was trimmed."
