The best killer robots in cinema, here is our ranking

Each has its fixed, for the writer Death Machinecopying of Terminator And Predator, is one of them. The director of APEX. (another sci-fi horror about killing machines, but frankly ugly) Stephen Norrington who will then sign Blade, tells the story of a company that creates killer robots, including the Warbeast, one fanged and ferocious beast. On the vhs of the times it could not be seen very well while it stands out in the darkness, and for this reason it is even more chilling. The cast included a very young Rachel Weisz and one of the most disturbing actors in the world, Brad Dourif. Death Machine does not skimp on cheeky quotationism – the characters have directors’ names (there is a John Carpenter, for example) or they cite the Weyland-Yutani of Alien. The Warbeast herself wanders the corridors like an alien, and her crimes are stalwartly gory.

3) Prof Hardin, Connors and Bryles – Born in 1999 (1990)

Almost all of the writer’s favorite movies predict the presence of robots chasing people to kill thembut Class of 1999 it has an incentive: it is also one school drama / teen horror, in practice a real treat with kids who look like the high school version of Walter Hill’s Night Warriors against female androids (gynoids). Kennedy high school students are all consummate thugs: more riotous than the baby thugs of Crows Zero, more mafia than the young yakuza’s GTO, they terrify the professors. The headmaster, taken by exasperation, replaces them with as many military robots reprogrammed to instill discipline in the boys. One with the appearance of an elderly gentleman with a pipe, another with the features of a middle-aged black woman (the legendary Pam Grier) and the third with the physique of a thirty-year-old thug, at first they violently punish the students. When the overwritten military program takes over, they begin to kill them and the boys just have to start retaliation.

4) Eve VIII – Absolute Priority / Eve Of Destruction (1990)
